Question Problem with New Post Indicator

Is there any way to keep the New! until the thread has actually been read?

That is standard behaviour. I'm unaware of anything else that occurs automatically, without a deliberate action on your part, that changes that behaviour.

Again, this is standard behaviour. I use the "New" indicator here, at www.kunena.com , in the several different views, in order to keep track of those discussions that I have not yet read.

Or is there some other New Post indicator I don't know about?

I hope we're discussing a piece of text, in green, that you can see here at www.kunena.com . It is possible for users to selectively remove this feature from their websites. Is that what you have done?

There is one thing that is not working in read posts: if someone replies, all messages since your last login shows up as unread.. It's limitation in K1.5.

The little green "x New!" thing is not working like that for me.

It is there when I log in, in the Recent Discussions view. But it is not in the Categories view, and it disappears from Recent Discussions view when I have only gone into Categories view and back again, but have not actually read the thread.

I have tried reverting my forum back to default_ex, which I have not changed at all, and am using two different machines with a different log in on each one, but still have this problem.

Is there something else I should be doing?

Ths is worrying too. I have a very busy forum and people need to know what they've read and what they haven't.

On my site it helps that I use Kunena's latest posts module. Now it might be a little too much on busy forums, but on my site it gets the job done. We get plenty of posts each day and still have not had any problems with people staying up to date with what is getting posted. You might want to try Kunena's latest post module and set it to say the last 10-15 posts. If you want to include more you can do it with just the topic with no avatars, poster's name. There are so many ways to have it display, a very good mod and I love it.

So are you having the same problem as me, CheechDogg?

I have latest posts installed but what I really need is for the New! function to work properly.
