| Check the cookie coding in forum_topics.asp ver 7.0 b3. When I come back to this page, all new replies is listed with "New messages"-icons. But if I don't read them and do something else for a while, the "unread status" dissapears. When I later come back again, all messages looks already read. |

To do it any other way we'd need to store a value against every post for every user in the database as to whether it's is read or not, which is expensive. However this would solve the problem of logging in at different computers as cookies don't follow us around! Cheers, ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |
