Personal Forums: Update 'All' to 'Read'

[lizardbeth]

In personal forums, I would love to have a clickable option to make all items appear read. As it is, threads that I've previously viewed turn blue again for no apparant reason. If I could periodically manually update the page to 'read', it would make it a lot easier to look at.

This is not done at the pbase server side. It is HTML property that is managed at the client (your browser). In HTML you can specify the color to show unvisited and visited links. So, a new guesbiook entry is shown as say blue and a visited (read) entry link is shown as say red. The browser keep tab of this using its history mechanism. However, once in a while, the browser deletes its older history and when this happens, the info is lost about those link's read/unread (visited/unvisited) status and it reverts back to unvisited (unread).

Hope that clears things up.

Yep, thanks, I think the problem is also that I go between my home computer and at work. Thanks for the reply.
