There are no posts marked unread for me in this thread, but the thread is shown with a diagonal blue slash, so the forum shows unread.
I know that I can make this go away by posting a reply, but luckily this is not a forum that I use often, so I will leave it like this in case you wish to investigate the problem further.
Now this really ****** me off, all those topics I have commented or created showed unread marks !!! I really hope that someone comes up with a solution for this issue as this really makes the browsing of these topics too time consuming...
Kari, as many other community members, I also expirienced problems with topic's read/unread marks. But I solved this problem for me simply by setting "Watch Forum" options for those forums that I read and participate in. Then, I receive all new postings and replies to such topics via e-mail. I not missed nothing from discussions that are interesting for me.
But then you are reliant upon more incomming e-mail, with answers that are out of context and difficult to follow.
I like to keep the watch to watch specific questions where the answer is of direct interest and do not want that swamped with other e-mail from the forum.
The best solution really is for Documentum to get the Forum fixed.
Steve, I use incoming e-mail from forums only as forum's activity sign but I'm not permamemtly monitoring forums only via e-mail. When I receive mail I take decision should I go to forums site or no. Of course, I haven't set "Watch Forums" on majority of forums - I did this (on forum level) only for three forums that are most interesting for me now: "eRoom", "eRoom API" and "WDK". Also I'm watching for threads on other forums that was initiated by myself (but this done automatically by system). And - last but not least - I'm monitoring postings of particular community members - yours, Kari's, two Dan's... Periodically, I directly look through other forums and if I find something interesting on it I switch watching on. If incoming messages from forum become prevailing mail in my inbox, I switch off some forums. In more active periods I receive about 30-40 mails from forum. This is not annoying me very much because real spam that goes daily to my inbox can exceed 50-70 messages. But basically I agree with you - Forum engine should be fixed.
No help. The unread marks just keep bouncing back from the old and definately read messages... ------------------ For example these topics keep coming unread:

I'm glad it's not just me, I was starting to get a bit paranoid about this

I gave you full points as a thank for persistent attitude... I know how "annoying" it is to get the message "will be ok soon "
