ubereglu Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 When I log out none of the red stars disappear anymore and so I'm landed with a mountain of them when I log back in again. Does anyone know how to stop this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Have now worked out how to! You have to go into User control panel and select display settings and you then click on the drop down menu 1 day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Is your "Mark Topics as Read" thingy not working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Well, it might be, but I don't know where the button is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It is not so much a button as a green line of text at the foot of each section of the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Thanks I've been overwhelmed by red stars too. I think if I visited in the old system the stars would clear for any threads read or unread on my next visit. Now if I go back the unread threads remain and there are pages of them.

chocchick Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 It is not so much a button as a green line of text at the foot of each section of the forum. I click on that and it does clear the red stars. I'm sure it used to happen automatically before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 It is not so much a button as a green line of text at the foot of each section of the forum. I click on that and it does clear the red stars. I'm sure it used to happen automatically before. My red stars or arrows as they were used to go each time I logged off last time too Now they seem to stay untill I read them or click on the all topics read at the bottom of the list of topics.

Egluntyne Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I might just be really stupid or not all with it cos its early lol but I can;t see the 'display settings' bit! Go to User Control Panel.....then Board Preferences......then Edit Display Options......then on the right you will see Display topics from previous days......or Display posts from previous days. Each has a drop down menu. Select the option that takes your fancy. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 See top left of screen Another temporary way: at the bottom of the thread it says display post from....and it has a drop down menu where you can choose the number of days It cuts down posts to those from today, but doesn't affect the stars from what I can work out. You have to clear posts with the green text as Egluntine said to do that. I'm glad it's not just me that thinks the stars/arrows have changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I like the new set-up.........it's really handy if you have to log out for some reason before you've read everything you wanted to........and if you accidentally click on 'close' (which I'm always doing ) I just mark everything as read as I leave each time......
