4.0.8 there vs 4.0.6 here, however by the looks of it one of the sites I'm on is still using 3.8.5 so I'm not sure it's a versioning issue.

4.0.8 there vs 4.0.6 here, however by the looks of it one of the sites I'm on is still using 3.8.5 so I'm not sure it's a versioning issue.

As of today we are 4.1.3 here.

I am having a hard time grasping the difference, I might have to get one of you on the land line so I can fix the issue.

I made some screen shots of whats going on and compared it to another forum.

I'll run you through what they are:

Pic 1: Home screen
Pic 2: Clicked "Whats New", shows "new threads". You'll see i take note that the next 3 threads are "Switch Panel--IamJeep Style", "New member in northwest NC" and "Computer Security software".
Pic 3: Clicked "Switch Panel---IamJeep Style
Pic 4: Clicked "Whats New" again. You'll notice that the thread i just read is now gone. The other two remain. There are now also 8 threads returned in the search of "whats new".
Pic 5: Clicked "New member in northwest NC"
Pic 6: Clicked "Whats New" again. The thread i just read has disappeared, only the Computer Security software thread remains and we're down to 7 results.

The above happens regardless if i click "Whats New" or "New Posts".

For comparison, the next 3 pics show how other forums handle this.

Pic 7: Clicked "Whats New". I'm going to click the thread with the arrow pointed to it. Take note that all of the threads are in BOLD font.
Pic 8: I clicked that thread.
Pic 9: I clicked "Whats New" again. The thread did not disappear... it is still in the results list. BUT, it's no longer BOLD which means I have read it. The other non-bold threads are new results that I have not read. If someone replies to that thread, it will turn BOLD again.

Okay, I got ya (I am a little slow), Let me see how to program that!

If they sign up don't forget to warn them about the little "new post" issue here. This is the only forum that I've been on that hides threads after you view them until a new post is made. Its a pain sometimes when I decide I want to go back and respond to that thread I read earlier, but its not there so you either have to search for it or click "mark all forums read" and then it'll show your the previous 24 hours.

I think I found the setting for this today and fixed it, please try it out and let me know! Thanks.
