auto marking threads as read

brc64 · Aug 4, 2003, 11:37 AM

I thought I remembered seeing an option to turn this off somewhere, but I can't find it now. Whenever I'm browsing a forum and I'm doing something else in the background (like working

), if I don't finish looking at all the new threads within a certain time limit (seems like it's set at 5 minutes or so), everything gets marked as read automatically.

I want to turn that off (I mark forums as read manually). Is there a way I can turn that off?

Hah yesterday I thought you were just whining but today I was a victim myself, had some trouble finding the right words for a post and by the time I got it almost all threads got marked as read.

Yeah I also have problems with this, It looks like some timeout setting is set realy low here on Rage3D. I hope they change this to about 60 minutes. But I also hope there is some setting to turn this off completely.
