FairySlayer Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 It appears that if a moderator or administrator creates an "invisible" post and then I "Mark Board As Read" before the post is made visible then that post is already marked as read. The first time it happened I thought that I'd used MBAR at exactly the wrong instant, but it keeps happening. (So this is speculation. ) It probably doesn't affect most users, but I MBAR about once a day so I can easily see what's new. Now that I know I'll just make sure to check the DDADT subforum regularly. I'd just hate to miss any important announcement, etc. It's not a big deal and I certainly don't expect you to change your procedures, but I wanted you to know that this appears to be the case. (It's not like I've never been wrong. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 It actually has nothing to do with procedure, but more with how the software itself works. Invisible or not, if a user "marks all posts as read", the invisible posts are also marked as read. FairySlayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySlayer Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yes, that's what I wrote. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it, and apparently you already are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
