Is it possible to change the settings on the way the board shows sections that you have looked at?

For example if I click on "Support & Tips" and there are some topics in there that I don't read and then come back to the board index, the "Support & Tips" section is still showing as unread, even though nothing new has been posted in there since I last looked.

I've seen other boards that work the other way so that once you've clicked into a section, when you come out it won't show that there are new posts until another new post has been made. It's so much easier to quickly see if there's anything new showing without having to study the time and date of the last post, or go into every section and see if any topics of interest have been updated.

Click on the ''Mark Topics Read'' before you leave the section :)

    It's not what you asked, but the New Posts link at the top of the main forum index shows unread posts from all sections of the forum you have access to.

    Genius, or should I say Genii. Thanks both!

    I'm pretty sure an insufferable pedant once told me it was geniuses.
    And unlike you... I didn't ask. ;)
