Which topics do you mean: you have replied in or you have created? Or unread posts in all topic within the forum at all? :)

yes unread topics in whole forum, even like phpBB does is fine.. Just make and indicator image next to the forum categories and topics and have it brighter if you have unread items and subdued if not.

What you dont want to happen is to see the notice or indicator on a category and then go into that category and have to look thru tons of topics to find the one that you need read.  So to have the indicator on both the category and the topic is great..

thanks

I was under the impression that things were built in this world for the majority not the minority.  IMO the majority of users in forums use subscribe to guage wether or not they are interested in a certain topic.  So this goes along with the "ambiguous suggestion" lol...  And that is if this forum was like 99.9% of other forums anywhere on the market, it would have the subscribe option but also the unread post option.  :)    You already do this it seems with topics sub topics, so why not with categories. Would it be that hard to take what you have done with topics and just add it to one lever upward?

I guess what we could do is if we are going to have half a forum, we could just call it a "for" and just tell everyone that the "rum" comes later LMAO ")
