threads out of order/marked as read.

I figured I'd start a new thread on this and keep it as neatly packaged as possible. The settings within the admin panel of the site read:

This option controls how threads and forums are marked as read.
    <LI class=smallfont>
Inactivity/Cookie Based - once a user has been inactive for a certain amount of time (the value of the session timeout option) all threads and forums are considered read. Individual threads are marked as read within a session via cookies.

This option is how all versions of vBulletin before 3.5 functioned.

<LI class=smallfont>Database (no automatic forum marking) - this option uses the database to store thread and forum read times. This allows accurate read markers to be kept indefinitely. However, in order for a forum to be marked read when all threads are read, the user must view the list of threads for that forum.

This option is more space and processor intensive than inactivity-based marking.

[*]Database (automatic forum marking) - this option is the same as a previous option, but forums are automatically marked as read when the last new thread is read.

This is the most usable option for end users, but most processor intensive.****************************************************

    Whatever it was it's working great now - similar to the previous forum and solves the problem I mentioned in the "well" thread (http://pokerforum.ca/showpost.php?p=97696&postcount=54).

    Thanks for continuing to work on the new site - starting to like it more as the bugs get worked out ;)
  • that's great to hear (see) I am going to be taking a very active and ongoing role in improving the experience here for all.
