Update to the New Posts function..
Hey everyone,
The techs have upgraded the 'New Posts' function.
They have switched from using cookies to track posts and forums read to the database. By using the database to track what you have read the system will now be able to keep track our activity over any device you use to access the site using the same username. Cookies would only do that in a particular browser. A negative is that we may need use the site a few days for the thing to reset and you may also prefer to mark everything on the site as read in order to reset it.
To mark all forum posts read, go to the drop down menu under your user name on the right of the top nav bar and select 'Mark Forums Read'.
