"Show unread" or something

I browse most of the forums I frequent on the web using their respective "Show unread" functionality. i.e. a list of threads with posts that I haven't read (or at least something similar).

Maybe I am blind, but the forum software does not seem to have such a functionality? Is there may be a hidden way to do this?

Doesn't seem to be possible. There doesn't seem to be a plugin either. Phorum isn't exactly the greatest choice for forums, but it's what we're stuck with for now.

The best solution I can offer is "mark all forums read" in the lower right of the forum index, then paying attention to read "new" flags.

There isn't a lot of activity right now, usually more when our local autists start jerking off about something, but then dies back off again when they burn out inevitably


Right now MWLL is pretty hot (unfortunately, Haarp TitanFall 2 came out and it's consumed me)...but MWLL isn't being discussed due to, well, it's old and we played the absolute shit out of it, so not much to say...(Haarp I had a blast the few rounds I've played, your adherence to Clan doctrine makes me hard)


Just stay on top of the "Mark all read" usually only a couple new posts every couple days

@Yalk: well it doesn't really matter how much activity there is winking smiley. Even when there is very little activity - with such a feature I could see with one click whether there are new threads and which ones.
