lol zor please change this option in the vbulletin settings.. nnwhere you HAVE to read the post for it to be marked.. the default 'cookie' method is awful and pisses me off everytime i come here.. because if your on the forum for like 10-15mins or so.. it automatically marks all new posts as having been read.. so its a pain in the ass to go thru and figure which ones are actually new after they have already been marked as read..nnthere is one small problem with this.. when you 1st change it.. EVERY post gets marked as new for ALL users lol.. all you gotta do tho is click the 'mark all read' or whatever on the forumhome.. and then its smooth sailing after that..nnnlol ive tried to just deal with the way it is now.. but i cant stand it anymore zor lol.. please make this change it really helps out when you read one thread.. then by the time you're done.. the 10 other new posts are already marked as read...

I did it the same way Zor...Except I use IE7 ;) Had no problems.n nThe new way is annoying...I visit other forums who do it this way and its super annoying when you forget to mark everything read before you leave and come back and there are a couple pages of new posts and its hard to tell what you have or havent seen....although this site isnt nearly as busy so it shouldnt be as much of a problem.

If you forget to mark the posts as read it will seperate the new post from the posts you didn't read the last time with a table and a caption saying these are the post you haven't read since the last time you were here.nnCheers!
