In the previous forum setup I was able to add my own Reset Last Read Pointers link to the footer of every page of WebmasterWorld by putting the appropriate code in the Custom Code Insert Bottom in my System Preferences. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to work in BestBBS v4.00.

Here's the old code I used to use:

<a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum.cgi?forum=(forum)&cookie=reset">reset pointers</a>

What's the proper new code?

I have used the (forum) keyword in my custom code insert as well, bill. I believe it will still work for you, it inserts the old forum number ( /forumnnn/ ) as opposed to the new keyword style though ( /webmasterworld/ ) and I am guessing that you are seeing this fail in Windows OS?

The "Reset Last Read Pointers" link still fails in at least 3 forums that I am aware:

  1. Reported Posts
  2. Webmaster General
  3. Windows OS

See jatar_k's comment and mine shortly thereafter regarding the "reset last read pointers" in the known issues v4 [webmasterworld.com] thread.

I'm thinking somehow these issues are related ...

Added this issue to the known issues thread mentioned.

Thanks to coopster and a few other's diligent follow up work we have an answer. Use this code if you'd like to have a Reset last read pointers link elsewhere on your WebmasterWorld page.
