trouble with Forum's "View unread posts"
All of a sudden today, in middle of reviewing posts, the forums record of which posts I've read seems to have been lost, in that the "View unread posts" link is now showing me stuff going back a long ways, whereas earlier this morning I was fully caught up. Logging out and back in again didn't fix it. Is there someway I may have accidentally reset the "have read" flags? (If so, I want to make sure I avoid that in the future). Or has there been some forum maintenance that might have reset that?

Mine got reset as well for one section of the forum anyways. Didn't forum wide though.

Re: trouble with Forum's "View unread posts"
eleazar's been doing some forum reorganization. This is likely the cause. I think there's a way to mark all posts as read, though I can't find it right now...
Edit: There's a mark forums read link at the top right on the main forum list page, and a mark posts read link at the top right of individual forum pages. Try those.

Is it stuff that's been moved to one of the new subforums?

Yep, from what I've seen the threads affected are those you moved to the new playtesting subforum.eleazar wrote:Is it stuff that's been moved to one of the new subforums?
