"New" header in phorum

Post by Mustang67 »

What happened to the little red "New" in the discussion board? I am much to lazy to re-read all the messages to see what I haved missed.

There's a cookie from exult.info named something like "forum-exultmain". Deleting this cookie should reset the "new" labels. (It probably kept the settings from the 'old' forum, in which you already read all the threads with low ID's)

Thanks. That was really easy to do in Konqueror.

It works also in IE.... (gasp)


By the way, I had to re-register my account once the cookies were removed.


Also something kinda annoying: in the registration screen, it asks for my name and my username. I put my real name in it and my prefered handle in username hoping it would be used for my posts. Unfortunately, Phorum uses my name instead of my handle.... Can you modify this?

Aurelien: this is a setting that was set in the old forum but no one has thought of setting the new one that way I guess.

I think you can go into editing your profile, and just change your name to the username you want? I stuck XxVenomxX where my real name was supposed to go, as well as my nickname. Worth a shot, I guess.
