Forum Read Button

I don't know how customizable the new software is but here is my request. I always forget to pull down the menu and mark a forum as read so threads that I didn't care to read show up the next time as unread (which they are). A button like the "New Thread" button might remind me to clear unwanted threads as read before I move on. Not a big deal but it would be a nice add.

I really like the new Forum setup. As any new package it will takes the users some time to get use to it and find all the tricks. I look forward to the new things that evolve.

Re: Forum Read Button

That is a great idea!

Also, I like the new AACA Logo buttons on the left side of the page and I really still hate the Marketing Image at the top....

Re: Forum Read Button

Actually, I'd rather not have to click any button. Use to be, anytime you refreshed or closed out and came back, all the old posts showed up as read. Right? (maybe not) if so, why can't it be like that again.

and yea the clickable AACA logo on the left is cool. Maybe Peter will surprise us with a Buick Club logo on the Buick forum.

I can tolerate the AACA image at the top, those advertisements on the right...now that's a different story. I'm just waiting for one with a repetitive dancin woman.

Matt, go to the very bottom of the page left side and choose the classic style and you won't have to see our BEAUTIFUL new image. On this site you can have your cake and eat it to...something for everyone!

Re: Forum Read Button

Wow, That is better! Another example of why the new software is superior, even if we all have not quite adapted yet. So, if you like the old style, you can choose it, and if you are into the more modern look.... you can choose to see AACA in that manner.

Thanks. We need to get the word out to everybody on that functionality.
