Posted September 26, 200618 yr I think this is a good idea, since such a simple thing shouldn't require a page reload.Good job IPS!

September 26, 200618 yr I've never used this feature, what's it good for? :huh:I've never really used marking all posts as read either, but I can imagine how it would be used to full effect. It probably works best on forums that are smaller than this one, though; whenever you come on here, it's safe to assume that almost all of the forums have a new post. If you mark all posts as read, you can quickly and easily use the icons on the left to see which forums have new posts that you may want to read.Anyway, I don't use the system, but that's how I would assume people use it.
September 26, 200618 yr I've never used this feature, what's it good for? :huh:For instance, on my board I have a digg RSS forum. I will peruse it and read the topics I want to, and when I'm done I'll click the forum icon to clear it so that next time that the icon is "illuminated" I'll know there's new posts, since RSS feeds are set not to show up in my View New Posts.
September 26, 200618 yr Well you might have forums within a category which you don't want to minimize due to having forums where there are posts you have an interest in. So what you can do is click the forum icon so it doesn't show as new posts. When you see that you think you're missing something.This is the same reason I thought we shouldn't have a bright icon for redirect icons and maybe just have "LINK" or something.
September 27, 200618 yr Didn't AJAX forum-read markers show up in the 2.0 PF's, and then disappear again? :unsure:
September 27, 200618 yr It doesn't work.When I click the icon to mark the forum read and then search for new posts, they still show the posts in that forum as new.
September 27, 200618 yr The fact that it is done properly is even more impressive! ( href is set to old fashioned way, work is done in onclick and uses a return false )Great step forward, even for such a small item!
September 27, 200618 yr It doesn't work.When I click the icon to mark the forum read and then search for new posts, they still show the posts in that forum as new.Well that sucks. I don't use that feature only use the index page and if the markers show new posts then I check the forum.
September 27, 200618 yr It doesn't work.When I click the icon to mark the forum read and then search for new posts, they still show the posts in that forum as new.It works exactly the way it has always worked, with the exception that now it doesn't require a page refresh. When you do a "View New Posts" the topics will be there, but they won't be flagged as new. Same as always.
September 27, 200618 yr Didn't AJAX forum-read markers show up in the 2.0 PF's, and then disappear again? :unsure:Was the 2.1 BETAs actually, and disappeared before RC and final. I too am glad they were brought back.
