Mark Forum Read Hack

I, personally, think that ezboards best feature is the Mark Forum Read hack.

I don't especially like how vbulletin has a cookie timeout instead. I have a particularly active forum, and it's almost impossible to read every topic. Thus, I think implementing an alternative to the cookie timeout would be great.

Is there anyway someone could create this useful hack? Here is a basic breakdown of how it works:

Inside of every individual forum, there is a Mark Forum Read link. It marks every post in that individual forum read. On the ForumHome page, there is a Mark All Forums Read link. This would (obviously) mark every forum read.

I would certainly prefer this over the cookie timeout. Let me know if it can be done.

You can see it in action at http://tony.murmurs.com

Excellent, works a treat Ethank!

Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I did not see a mark thread read function on your site as of yet. Did I miss something?

Hooper, the function is underneath the thread titles

Couldn't post the rtf, so I posted it at http://www.murmurs.com/codechanges.rtf

Thankyou

So I understand live and learn. Anyhow, the rtf has the code modifications, but isn't clear as of yet where they go. So I'll work on that documentation tommorow.

Many thanks Ethank, all look good so far. We await your documentation.

Kind Regards
