Well coming from a YaBB environment, one of the things that my users liked was the fact that read/unread messages were stored on the server, and thefor they could read from any computer- anywhere....
The other thing is that I's like to see the mark as read features work like this:
1. When you enter a forum from the main page, if the forum was marked as new, it is now marked as read.
2. When you enter a thread, if the thread was new, it is now marked as read.
This was very useful in a forum environment because when people have a varying level of computer savvy, the simpler you make it the better. The additional ability to store the read/unread information on the server makes the loss (or absence) of your cookie a minor issue.
This is just how I feel....
Were this feature (or hack) available, I kid you not.... my system would be "perfect" for our uses.
It's the only thing lacking in my eyes.
