mark everything as 'read' up to when?

[GreenV8S]

I tend to use the "what's new since last visit" function to follow what's going on. I seem to remember that once upon a time it used to update the 'time of last visit' automatically but now for whatever reason it doesn't do that. So I have got into the habot of clicking "mark all as read" when I've looked at the recent posts, so don't see them all again next time.

The fly in the ointment is that the "mark all as read" function seems to mark all messages as read up to the time I click the button, not just up to the latest message on the page that I'm looking at when I click the button. It's only a minor niggle, but any chance of recording in the page when it was generated so only messages up to that time are marked as read?

I'll see if I can reinstate the remembering function better. It used to work better than it does now

Now fixed

However the "what's new" timer" seems to have suffered... I've had my browser open in the background all day yet my "what's new" timer keeps moving forward during the day. Is that by design?

Yes. I can't actually tell if your browser is open or not. I can only go via activity. It times out after 20 minutes.
