Topic: Button next to Forum name

[Yamatr3]

As you all know the button turns red if there has been posts in that particular forum.  In other forums, you can double click on the button  and it will automatically mark that forum as read for you.  This one doesn't seem to work the same way.  When you click on it, it takes me to the unread topics page.  Is this the way you guys have it designed?

Second, when I go into a forum, I click the mark the topics read button after I'm done looking at the threads I want to look at.  The page reloads, and the topics usually go to lower case telling you there are no new posts.  When I click the mark read link, they still stay in caps.  However, when I go to the main forum contents page, the forum is now marked read.

That is the way SMF works.

When you click on a sub-forum, then click the "Mark Read" and all messages in that portion of the forum will set to read.

So what AspenRose is trying to say is --- It's not a bug, it's a Feature!!   

LOL, have  you thought of getting a job in automotive engineering, or perhaps at Microsoft???

Well, I used to work for HP, and got really really good at making people think that bug was put there just to annoy them, er, to give them a hint that the coders didn't want them to do it *that way*...

But for SMF, that's the way they coded it...I've been hacking at the code on my own forum, and if I figure out how to cleanly do changes like that I'll holler, meanwhile we get to work with all it's 'features'
