Forums Automatically Marked Read
The bolding of new threads is a nice feature. It helps me work my way through the forum. I can clearly see which threads have been active since the last time I visited. But I'm slow and easily distracted. After being logged into the forum for what seems like a short period (15~20 minutes), long before I've gone through the subforums I'm interested in, all forums revert to "Read". Is there any way to adjust this time? I've been through the user cp but didn't see any option. Thanks

I've noticed that this forum seems much more aggressive in the threads being marked as read than another that I frequent that uses the same software. The other one never marks them as read unless I actually click on them. I think I like that setup better.

It's a scalability issue with vBulletin.

A&S doesn't seem to bug me anymore.
You don't have to read everything. Subscribing to the topics you like in daily or weekly digested form is actually a good way to keep track of them. "For Sale/Trade", "eBay/Craigslist" and "Pay It Forward" are things to digest daily.
Especially if you're not me and all over it anyway.
PS Are there actually TWO Pay It Forwards? That's sort of confusing...
Thanks for posting.

I understand it's a scalability issue, but can we at least increase the time period? What is it now, 30 minutes, 40 minutes maybe? Can we up it to an hour or so? 90 minutes?

tj, as much as we'd like to, we can't at this time without destabilizing the database.

Well, ok. Please put my vote in for upping it when it is possible.
Can you tell me what the timeout is set to right now?

I believe it's a variable based on server load right now. That's the province of the techies, though.

I use a lot. I normally come and go between various sites, but I've not been visiting here as much as I'd like because I have a hard time finding where I left off. Anyone have a recommendation on helping me keep tabs easier?
