    It is now working for me like it has for the last many months... still can't do it from the search list, but I can do it from a thread and the main forum screen...

    WooHoo, thanks Tom!!! (I think, did you actually change anything?)

    Thanks.
    I also do not have "Original" but I tried all the non-mobile layouts and all of them produced this link:
    http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdispl...&markreadhash=

    Without the super secret NSA hash code, it won't do the markread function...

    The link from a thread or from the forum main screen includes that hash, but not from the search screen. Its been like this for a very long time (since the last major upgrade I believe)...

    Note: Interesting, it seems a few replies in this thread just "disappeared"???

    If it wasn't for the stupid sessionid, I could make a hard link...

    Yes, I have logged out and tried both default and tsp colors themes...

    OK, here's the deal. This problem is caused by the "plug-in" program vbSEO, which is supposed to help with search engine placement, along with a few other features. I can easily deactivate this but it could cause some link problems within the site, of which I can deal with as I find them. Whether the search engine help is actually working is debatable.

    The biggest problem with disabling vbSEO, is that is the program that gives us the "Like" features in the posts. Disabling the program means no more Likes, and no more displaying the Likes Given / Received.

    Personally I never use the "Mark Forums Read" feature but obviously some of you do. So it will be a matter of which is more important to us.

    Maybe we should take a vote.

    Not that big of a deal, but I couldn't even mark the forums read at home (can at work, but didn't know that when I posted this)...

    So, if you don't mark the forum read, how do you keep up with new posts or do you just read every post?

    I can't do one of the two ways....
    The one I can do is under Forum, Forum Actions, Mark Forums Read

    Under New Posts, Mark Forums Read, that one doesn't work.

    I usually read all the threads I want and then mark the rest as read, mostly Newsfeeder, and some video threads. But yes, I use it for cleaning up at the end of the week.
    THIS IS WHERE I WOULD PUT SOMETHING TO REPRESENT MY THINKING, BUT THEN THEY SHOW UP!

    I can only do this when reading a thread

    I also cannot do this

    I can also do it from the main forum screen, but only if its been refreshed recently (apparently the hash codes expire)

    i view the message board this way on my phone browser:

    Attachment 31504

    when i log in, in the right hand column any new posts since my last visit have a little blue thingy next to them. during a browsing session i remember the ones i've read, well, because i read them.

    also, i remember the ones i didn't read because i chose to not read them for some reason. whether it is because of topic or poster or whatever, if it still shows a little blue thingy next to it and i remember i don't want to read that topic or any drivel by that poster, then i usually don't click it, probably for the same reasons i didn't click it the first time.

    there are some threads i just dismiss out of hand and don't even consider reading because they almost always contain something obnoxious, crude, or offensive. but that's just me, i sort them manually with my cranial meat computer instead of relying on technology to make make and catalog my options for me. also, i don't always pick my underwear up off the floor or do the dishes before i go to bed because i was blessed to not be one of those type of folks that always need everything just so and perfect and it doesn't bother me too much.
