Also a "Mark all posts read" under "View unread posts" would be nice. "View new posts" and "View active topics" are covered by "View unread ..", don't need them.

I still see the no-new-posts triple-pyro icon in the default theme.

Why do I need to make it two lines instead of one line?Which theme?

Default. W/ "Under" I mean the srceen you get after clicking "View unread posts" -- load dbb, go to "View unread..", pick one that you're interested in, enter, read, go back. Rinse repeat. In the end the ones you skip are still marked "unread", so I wan't to mark them read. Would be nice if that could be done while in the "View unread posts" list.

Grendel wrote:Sure.

Also, you left in the "View unread posts", could we change that to the "View new posts" ? The latter will keep the list as is, the "unread" thing will remove the posts as soon you read them (makes going back for a last second change a pain.)

Grendel wrote:Much better, thanks again. Altho the "Mark forum read" on the "View new posts" page still resolves to "http://www.descentbb.net/". Maybe because the page it's a thread list vs. a forum list ? Is there a "Mark all threads read" function somewhere ?
