I have seen a persistent Mark as Read, but what about an automatic Mark as Read? The difference being, not only does it utilize database tracking instead of the default use of a cookie, but it doesnt require a user to physically click the Mark as Read button.

This is similar to what would occur if a member reads a new thread. If they read the thread, they are not required to mark it as read in order to make it reset; it just occurs.

With an automatic mark as read for forums, they would not be required to mark the forum as read; it just resets itself as read once all new posts within the forum have been read.

Good idea! I want this too!
And i have small suggestion.
If user don't read any forum or posts and exit from vB, unread posts not mark as read.
When user return to board it will see all unread posts & forums.

Please make this

this will be really helpful

In fact, it would even be ok to make the forum new post indicator reset if the user simply enters the forum, regardless if they read all new posts or not. You have to figure, if they enter the forum, they are going to read the new posts they want to read and leave the others. So this would negate the need to read all posts in order to reset the indicator.

Anybody, Please make this hack

Yes I agree!! I MUST needed feature!! However, I would say the "Mark as Read due to just entering" would be even more frustrating. as some forums have several active threads, and if I can't get to them, I defo don't want the whole forum being marked read. ONLY if viewed I say.

Consider what would be required to dynamically track the read status of every message posted on your forums for each user.

Yes I was thinking about that.....you would need a cray! ;-)
