I'm having a problem with the way this forum deals with unread messages. When I first enter the forum, I click on "posts since your last visit". and catch up on what has been posted since. This morning I loaded the main forum page and then something came up to divert me, so I minimized it until I could get back to it later. So, when I did get to it later, I thought there might be some newer posts that came in in the last 2 hrs, so I hit the reload button. Bad idea. It cleared the number of posts since my last visit and now I don't know what it is I haven't read.
This has happened to me before when I was part way through reading the unread posts and had to close the browser only to return and find that all the posts had been marked as read.
I would like to see either a change or a preference somewhere that only marks posts as read when we have acutally opened that thread and read the latest posts there. Is there already a place to mark this preference?
