I started this thread so I had better keep up with it. I also visit five other forums. If I do not check the option (it is usually prominent at the top of the postings) to "mark all forums as read" . Then the next time I visit, whether I have logged of or not is of no consequence, the same postings are there. This is convenient if I had not had time to read some of those which interested me. In this forum, if I leave the site, or log off, all the posts seem to be automaticall marked as read and cannot easily be found again on a subsequent visit.
As I said earlier, it is not a big issue and , as it seems to have raised some emotions, the site should be put back as it was a week ago. |
