3. Now that I've read all that looked interesting, I "Mark This Forum Read" so that next time I visit the forum I can concentrate on the bold threads again.
But between 1 and 3, new threads may have been posted, and old threads may have been updated. I wouldn't like the "Mark This Forum Read" to mark these new threads/posts as read, but only the threads/posts that were actually shown in the forum page when I clicked the option (i.e., the threads/posts that existed the last time the forum page was refreshed: in step 1).
I hope it's clearer now  |
Sorry, Jellby, my answer wasn't clear. I did understand what you meant.
My answer was that I was trying to figure out what happens, like you had asked. I played around but couldn't tell what it did.
I do like you do, except between steps 1 and 3, I usually, refresh after each bolded thread is read. That way I catch a new post while the thread is fresh in my mind.
