mark forum as read

[davidh]

The colored icon that means "new messages (I think)" in a forum seems to remain present for a longer period now, after the forum software upgrade, than it used to in the past. So that I either have to view all the "unread" threads in the forum or "mark the forum as read" to stop it from appearing.

Is this correct ?

If so, is there a way to change my user options to make the "new messages" icon disappear sooner ?
