Thread "read" marks
Does the current forum software not mark each thread as read when you read it? I can't keep track sometimes of which ones I've read... The "Mark all..." option is cool when I know I'm done though, the way it shoots me back out to the forum list.

That's a pain in the butt. Clicking on the forum name link at the top or bottom should automatically refresh, shouldn't it? I know it used to on the previous software?

In laymens terms, the server was at 150% of its capacity with the other software, now it's less then 50, just by a software change. This site is MUCH faster then it used to be. I would call that anything but badly designed. Are there some differences? Yes, but if you were in my shoes you would have done the same thing.
This change has also allowed us to change both the photo galleries and the classifieds sections to something MUCH better, and only using one login to do it all, vs 3 seperate logins. So at the end of the day, you tell me which one is better.

It's an annoying little problem, that's all.

Mine works the same as yours, JF. Sorry but there isn't anything I can do about it at the moment. You may not think so, but it's actually a bit complicated to get it to work that way. One of the reasons why I don't want to do it is because it increases the load on resources. Until I have enough money for a new server, we're kind of stuck.
