That's pretty much what I meant, I had noticed a difference but it works fine regardless so why bother changing it Anyway going off the poll results it would appear it will be changing back to the original format soon

1 in 3 people prefer the new way, i think that's enough to implement the option of either if possible.

after all many openly admitted they wanted the old way purely because they don't like change lol.

New way for me. All other forums I read are done in this fashion. AFF is the only site that auto-reads everything for me.

It's a real pain to open AFF and get called away. Then when I come back 1 hour later, every thing is marked as read! I even posted a thread about this last year

Agree.

Only forum that I am on that is the "old" way. Once people start using the "view new posts" button and "mark all as read" when they have finished browsing and dependant on how regular they are on here, the number of posts/pages that will come up should be minimal if you use the function each time you log on.

Bit of a PITA for those that only get on and usually only visit the same sections though.

Default Re: Read post method

I'd like to be able to say that I can code it so that it user selectable but at this stage I'm not overly sure that I can. It is certainly technically feasible to do so as it is really just an option that could be added to the UserCP but it's more of a question of changing the current global setting to read the user option based on that selection and them acting properly.

I'll start playing with it on the test server and see what can be done but I'm not sure my coding abilities are up to that!

Cheers
Russ
