Hi members and guests,
We now have a fantastic new feature installed at Christian Forums.
Some members who have moved from the King's Tavern forum which used ezBoard as its forum software missed the ezBoard function where threads and forums can be marked as read by the user.
vBulletin, the software we use, uses a cookie to determine this instead - so members found that after a certain amount of time, threads and forums were considered read even when they are not.
I have finally fixed this with a system that uses a database to track when forums are set read. By eliminating the use of cookies for this feature, a user can come onto your boards, read a bit, mark forums read as they go through and logout. The next time they come into the forums, the status of which forums they've read and which they haven't, as well as new posts since the last time they read is preserved.
This functions a lot like the ezBoard system, ported over for these forums!
The functions are only available to members - guests will only see the normal VB cookie system.
The buttons to mark forums read etc. are located in the moderator column on the forum homepage, as well as at the top of the thread display areas.
Enjoy, members! As you can see, I am busy always improving Christian Forums with new features. Please report any bugs by PMing me immediately!
God bless!
