Can we get a 'mark forums read' link from the 'view posts since last visit' page?
This would make it even easier for me to read the forum
thanks

.When I read the forum, I use the link at the top right to view posts since last visit. This provides a list of all the posts that I have not yet read. On that same page, it would be nice to have a mark all posts read
Typically I don't read every post.

1. log on
2. view posts since last visit
3. read what you want and then log off
none of those posts will reappear when you log back on....regardless that they have been read or not......at least, that's how my setup works.
I think that may be the problem. When you exit the site, are you leaving the window open somehow? If you completely close that instance of TFP, you get logged off automatically and, at least on my machine, ANY and ALL posts are "marked as read"exit site w/o logging out....

The next time you go back to TFP, you will come back in automatically (because you've asked Windows to remember your password) but that should be a new instance of TFP and the only posts that will show up as new will be those that occurred since you closed TFP the last time.

Nope, actually read your post, exited by going to another website, then came back w/in 3 minutes and this thread still showed up a "view posts since last visit". So, I'm going to actually LOG OUT this time and see what happens.

I had 13 unread posts, including yours, closed the window, opened IE again, went to TFP and now show no new posts. I did not log out or have to log back in. I stayed logged on both times.
What browser are you using, do you have it set to allow cookies?

As someone totally computer illiterate.....no, my computer does not allow me to eat cookies! LOL
I did not close out my IE browser when experimenting above. Just went to and fro in between different websites. I will try this tactic. But, usually during the day my computer is on for like 4-6 hours at a time, so my browser is open all that time.
