Hi! I think that it would be much easier if instead of having to click on "Reset Last Read Pointers", the color of a thread changed (less color) when readed as it is on a lot of forums. Because sometimes you forget to click on this button and then you don't remember where you stopped.

Thanks and I hope this is a useful suggestion ;)

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree a system as you described would be ideal. I've given a great deal of thought to it and built prototypes of such a system.

I'm bumping up against some resource limitations. Given the current system, it's not possible to mark an individual thread as read by one member. That would require a huge set of pointers (bytes) for each thread that a member viewed.
