    Marking post as read

    This is so basic, I feel stupid, but once I've read a post, how do I mark it as 'read'?

    I use the 'read new' function, and go through them one by one, but when I refresh it, all the posts that I just read are still there, and if I check the individual post it still has the yellow unread icon next to it. All I can do is click the 'mark all as read', which sometimes is inconvenient if I want to come back later.

    Also, is there any harm in disabling the cookie timeout? Frequently I'll get distracted, and many posts I haven't actually read get marked as read because the screen sat idle too long.

    Disabling the cookie timeout will make it so no one is ever considered to have left and therefore posts never get marked as read, ever. Also everyone will be on the who's online list at all times making it useless.

      The read markers are wacked. Mark forum home read and it doesn't do anything. Read all threads in a forum or mark it as read and it doesn't clear the markers.
