Ok, digital point runs vBulletin and so does my forum. On digital point, when i login and view my user cp, it displays new private messages and subscribed threads in bold. When i view a private message / subscribed thread, it takes it off from being bold, and it also takes it off from being displayed on the user cp. On my forum, when i go to my user cp, there are threads in bold, so i click them and go back to my user cp, and they are still being displayed there, but not in bold (because i have viewed them). How can i get it so that when i view subscribed threads on my forum, it takes it off from the user cp (like digital point) ???
Go to your AdminCP. Then vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings Now scroll down to the option 'Thread/Forum Read Marking Type' and tell me which option is selected on your forum ? I assume you are running vB 3.6.8 or a recent non-beta version of vBulletin.
I am running vBulletin 3.7 Beta 4 This is the option that is currently selected... Inactivity/Cookie Based
Try selecting the database marking option. (I suggest the automatic one). Then test your setup when somebody PMs you... or a new post is made in your subscribed thread.
Ok, i have changed it to... Database (automatic forum marking) And it works fine (like digital point). Can i just ask, whats the difference between... Database (automatic forum marking) and Database (no automatic forum marking)???
Great to hear that. Quoted from the vBulletin AdminCP's documentation / help : So, if you experience any slowness in your forum or high server loads, switch to the Database (no automatic forum marking) option. Thanx, Shadab.
