Requests on unread posts

Any chance we could get the unread posts to act like the ones in Circvs? Where if you leave and then come back, they don't all turn read, nor do they time out? That's realy my biggest (and only) complaint about Enworld.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

(And, as an aside, I'd like Stealth to actually have something to even tell me if I've read a thread or not, or posted in one.)

NKL and NTL do that as well. it is a nice feature, actually. may or may not be feasable on enworld.

I'll check the settings when I have a chance.

Thanks PC. No hurry, but it would be nice to at least have that option

I'm not the techie guy here or anything, but I think Michael said that it was a vBulletin 3.0 vs 3.5 thing. ENWorld runs on 3.0, while NTL, NKL, and CM runs on 3.5.

Upgrading to 3.5 is problematic, because ENWorld's code has been hacked to Baator and back, in large part by people who don't work on it anymore and didn't leave much in the way of documentation regarding what, exactly, their hacks do.

I asked about this on the Circvs and the answer had to do with using too much memory.

Let me see if I can find a link.
