I am having issue with unread posts being marked as read when I come back to the forum later time.

One example would be that in the morning I would have a bunch of unread posts in one forum I like to read and post in so I read a couple of posts before going to work. (the 6.0 L forum)

Then when I come home after work there would be a bunch of new unread posts added to the forum while I was a work and those I have not read yet this morning would be marked as read.

Is there a way to keep them marked unread until I actually had open and read them or are the unread marker is on some timer that get marked to read even if it not been read yet?

If it on some timer then need to increase timer to a week or a month would be even better before marking all the unread post to read.

Thank you
Bill

 

It isn't so much an unread as it is new vs old posts. Each time you log in, the forum will show you the newest posts since your last visit. That is what you see that seem like unread, they are just new since your last login.

 

This is where "SUBSCRIPTIONS" come in handy.

You can sub to a particular thread, or even to an entire forum area such as 'Projects'.

You then go direct to your USER CP (control panel) each time you log in, and all of your top priority threads and forums are listed as "GO TO" links
