Default Changed How Forums Are Marked As Read

We recently changed how the forums keeps track of the posts each user has yet to read.

The way it has always worked is if a thread contains a new post that you haven't read, that thread's name will appear in bold in the list of threads.

It continues to work this way, but previously this tracking was done by cookies... now it is being handled by the database, which is better.

Basically, what this means is that, on your next login, you may need to use the Mark Forums Read feature under the Thread Tools menu, since each user's tracking was reset when we changed this option.

Thanks,

Jamie
