This may well have been suggested before but I would like to put a different "slant" on it.
If you do not finish reading all new posts, then close the browser, upon re-opening, all unread posts are assumed to have been read. It is difficult to then pick out which posts you didn't get to read on the previous visit.
Having played with the EZboard forums, I particularly like the "mark forum read" and "mark all forums read" feature. This means that any unread forums are still marked as such next time you visit. The user decides whether to mark a forum as read or not.
Are there plans for a similar feature (or does it already exist and I am just missing it)?

Thanks HuwR,
Nearly but not quite...
Maybe it's just a case of being used to the way EZBoards work. I assume you know the features I am referring to?

JohnO,
I have just discovered that you CAN do what you asked for.
Go to the "Active Topics" page and if you have new messages, you will see a little folder that is half pink and half yellow near the left hand top corner of the table.
This is the "mark all read" button.
Enjoy!

| Does anyone know if it is possible to add text next to this graphic so that other users know what this link does?< |

You'll find the icon on line 385 of active.asp:"<acronym title=""Mark all topics as read""><input type=""image"" src=""" & strImageUrl & "icon_topic_all_read.gif"" value=""Mark all read"" id=""submit1"" name=""Mark all topics as read"" border=""0""" & dWStatus("Mark all topics as read") & "></acronym></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _You could add some text beside to let people know what it does but you'd probably only have people wondering why they couldn't click the text. Better option would probably be to create your own icon_topic_all_read.gif with text on it.

You can put this before the '##Start to build the Table on line 387.
'### Start modified 'Mark All Read' code
If recActiveTopicsCount <> "" and (mLev > 0) then
Response.Write " <form name=""MarkRead"" action=""active.asp"" method=""post"">" & vbNewline & _
" <table border=""0"" width=""100%"" cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""0"" align=""center"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td valign=""bottom"">" & vbNewline & _
" <input type=""hidden"" name=""AllRead"" value=""Y"">" & vbNewline & _
" <input type=""hidden"" name=""BuildTime"" value=""" & DateToStr(strForumTimeAdjust) & """>" & vbNewline & _
" <input type=""hidden"" name=""Cookie"" value=""2"">" & vbNewLine
if strGfxButtons = "1" then
Response.Write " <acronym title=""Mark all topics as read""><input type=""image"" src=""" & strImageUrl & "button_mark_all_read.gif"" value=""Mark all Topics as read"" id=""submit1"" name=""Mark all Topics as read"" border=""0""" & dWStatus("Mark all Topics as read") & " tabindex=""-1""></acronym></td>" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write " <input type=""submit"" value=""Mark all Topics as read"" id=""submit1"" name=""Mark all Topics as read"" tabindex=""-1""></td>" & vbNewLine
end if
Response.Write " </tr>" & vbNewLine & _
" </table>" & vbNewLine & _
" </form>" & vbNewline
End if
'### End modified 'Mark All Read' code
Here's a crap button I made as an example: 
Can't remember who contributed this code but it was almost 3 years ago.< |
