I don't know if this is just an admin feature, but the members of my forum are saying they cannot find the option to mark all topics as read although something similar is present for the admin?

I see no reason why they would want one. Topics with new activity are highlighted when they log in and visit the forum. They are unmarked as they are vistted. When that user logs in next time only topics that have new activity since their last visit are flagged… why would they want such a tool? And what purpose would it serve?


By the way - I have added a flag to forums to show exactly the above = forums that have topics that have new acvtivity since the current user last logged in to the forum.


And if you want an overview of how that all works - an expanded version of the above - look at the on-line help, bottom left panel.

Thanks Andy.

I see no reason for the feature either, but they
are all coming to this forum from a phpbb board that their old site
used and i think it's just down to getting used to the way something
works.

Simple Press is IMO far superior to the likes of phpbb and the features are much more sophisticated, hell they even complained that they could not use bbcode!

I think it just takes more thinking to use this forum compared to the rest, where as the others are for the no brainers.

Quite a few requests for BBCode and I can sort of understand that. I am keeping my eyes open for a good thrd party BBCode editor but haven't found one yet.

And thanks for your generous comments.
