"goto first unread post" at the beginning of a thread, it doesnt take me to my first unread post. I have my cookies turned on. On other boards that i go to it works just fine, but here, not so much.

I'm getting mouse wrist from scrolling.

Have you marked all forums as read, and then had that happen? I don't think the posts get marked as "read" until you mark the forum(s) as read.

I'll make sure i mark all posts as read when i leave amity's this time and i'll see if the goto first unread post thing works the next time i log in and letcha know if it works.

Thanks(((((

Okay so it works when i mark all forums read. I dont really get why it doesnt mark posts read as i read them though. Isnt it supposed to?

After perusing the vbulletin forum, I *think* that the answer to your question is "no - it was never meant to work that way." Here's a link to a post there which was the clearest I could find regarding this topic:

It sounds as if some other bulletin board software *does* do what you'd like tho.

Again, this is just my understanding - I don't know enough about it to give you a more definitive answer. I will try to find out more if you like.

Thanks for looking into my weird little question for me Margaret.

I can live with the ~nope it's not supposed to do it~ answer

Thanks again (((((
