Forums not marked as read

[gigidkl]

I have a problem with forums not being marked read. When someone makes a new post, the forum, thread and post remain marked unread unless I scroll to the bottom and click 'mark all forums read' or following the breadcrumbs backwards.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this.

Before the user stats fix they would mark read if I followed the full path to the post (Open forum, open thread, open post) but now they're not being marked read at all no matter what I do.

Is anyone else using the same versions? Are yours working ok?


P.S.: here is a copy of the full discussion we had in another forum to get more details:

Basically the forums don't get marked as read if you go directly to the forum's index after reading something.

Set this:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Thread/Forum Read Marking Type -> Database (automatic forum marking)

The first time you set this all posts will show up as unread because the database marking is new. Once you mark the forums as read everything will work fine.

Thank you, Steve!

So this means that the db is controling the mark read/unread for users rather than their browser & cookies?

Yes.
