We hope to upgrade the forum to v3.6 some time later today.
There will be a small amount of necessary downtime.
And it's done. :biggrin:
wheres the mark threads viewed button gone ????
Some of the customisation which we had started needs to be re-customised in the new version, it's en route AFAIAA.
TL.

You can find it under "Quick Links" until Gandy has a chance to recustomise things :)

Double Click the big icon (the one that shows if there's new posts) to mark the whole section read. Brilliant.:biggrin:
thnx guys....
I'm hoping that the mark forums read becomes redundant now as this new version has much improved forum marking facilities.
Anyway, if you want it back in a prominant place again I can certainly put it there. However, it is a big ass bit of text :tongue: any suggestions for a shorter phrase?

Please tell me it's not the auto read deal whereby when you leave the forum it assumes you've read everything. I would like to be able to retain control over whether i read something or not.
Please.

Here you go;
QuoteThis option controls how threads and forums are marked as read.
1. Inactivity/Cookie Based - once a user has been inactive for a certain amount of time (the value of the session timeout option) all threads and forums are considered read. Individual threads are marked as read within a session via cookies.
This option is how all versions of vBulletin before 3.5 functioned.
2. Database (no automatic forum marking) - this option uses the database to store thread and forum read times. This allows accurate read markers to be kept indefinitely. However, in order for a forum to be marked read when all threads are read, the user must view the list of threads for that forum.
This option is more space and processor intensive than inactivity-based marking.
3. Database (automatic forum marking) - this option is the same as a previous option, but forums are automatically marked as read when the last new thread is read.
This is the most usable option for end users, but most processor intensive.
We are using option three. So if you don't read the thread then it'll still be marked as unread until you actually view it or 'Quick Links, Mark Forums Read'
I've had the tutorial by Oldie and sorry, it's ain't the same. The other way was better. Read new posts. Mark posts as read. Job done. This is too faffy. Sorry.

Mark Forums Read? Hardly War and peace.:smile:

Although it is a bit of a nail biter :)
I find the proximity of New Posts to Mark Forums Read a little prone to destroying a reading session. Yes, so there's half an inch of space twixt them but you know me, mouse accuracy isn't a strong point. At least being tucked away under quick links gave you a failsafe. Perhaps the option order could be changed?
Can I have a FWD mouse :-)
it can be moved, where do you want it? You're right, being under quick links is best but people were moaning because it took an extra 350ms to activate :tongue:
Get a bigger screen.
If it's looking to be moved, I'd suggest somewhere away from often used options. Between FAQ and Members List perhaps?
And Duvel, I won't get bigger screen, I'll sit another ft (or 0.3 eurometres) closer to the monitor.:blink:

Put it back! Put it back where it was! Don't listen to them! What do they know? Put it back I say!
It's bloody gone again! What are you trying to do, alienate old folks? <_<
Found it really :smile:

It may be only 350ms to you but it eats into my time left. :flirty:
Gandy will be updating the forum again this lunchtime so expect a short period of downtime.

Our hosts will be doing some work on the network starting at midnight tonight. Some downtime will be inevitable so go have an early night :D
You do realise that only us admins can see this forum, right?

Of course I do. :whistle:
Might be worth bouncing the windows servers tonight then; there are several MS Updates that have been downloaded automatically but not installed (we changed the auto update method to avoid the reboots)
BA3 will not accept updates due to WGA issues. :whistle:
I'll do BA2 now.

Aaah, should have asked me when installing, I can give you a legit key
