I don't ever mark the forum as read. Kas apparently does, because he is the loser.

Saves time?

It takes time to mark them as read.

*uses the 'mark forum as read' thing*

Saves time as in not having to figure out what forums have new posts. On most boards I go to (including two of my own) I dont have an icon to show a board is read, so if I go to one of my boards and see the column that has the 'new posts' icon as small as it can go...then I know there's nothing new and I just move on to the next board. With a 'no messages read' icon I have to 'scroll down' to see if there's any new posts or not. That's where the time waste comes from ;)

It is slightly annoying.

It falsely lulls you into thinking there are still unread topics there, when there arent.


Having no icon was better than having an icon at all.


DOWN WITH THE ICON!!!!
