Sometimes I want to only pick up a small amount of information off of my message board and if I do this then I lose my "Posts not read" tags when I come out.
I have seen the "Mark all forums read" facility but a "Mark this forom read" would be a big bonus to this excellent message board.

By the way both my message board www.ibizaqueenvictoria.com/vicforum  and a friends www.balearic-jobs.com got hacked over the weekend.I was lucky as I was on line when the hacker came on and knocked me off (I closed the boards down) but Balearic-jobs was not and he lost everything!!!!!

Best wishes to all,John,ibiza expat

If you don't secure your database then you are leaving your forum wide open to any hacker that comes along.

Make sure that you have followed the documentation that comes with the forum on how to rename and secure the database, also make sure that you are using hard to guess passwords.

Yes another lesson learnt and I will make sure the person helping me out of this problem is more familiar with security than the one who downloaded your message board for me,thanks,John.
