Title: Mark post unread
Post by: Nao on April 14th, 2012, 10:05 AM
Bug: when clicking mark unread in a topic, it should mark the page as unread. Not the whole topic.

Just so we're clear -- if a topic was seen when it has new posts in it, hitting 'mark unread' will immediately mark THESE posts as unread. While if I for instance just visit the penultimate page of a read topic and hit Unread, it'll mark the entire topic as unread, instead of simply the last two pages. Which would make more sense... To me, 'mark unread' should basically say, 'come back here when I want to see this topic again'... Like a bookmark. At least that's how I use it...

I'd noticed that this was a bug, but I always figured it was just me doing something funky with it like misinterpreting it...

Spent a long time thinking the same.
Came to understand this week that I'm not crazy ;)
Too busy to double check with the code but that's certainly the behavior.
It was okay back when SMF used to mark all pages as read when page 1 was read. No longer is :)

Except that SMF changed the behaviour to mark read by page... back around RC3? IIRC SMF still does the same thing we do, except that with us, we display how many items are relevant, heh.

Yeah, except in the MessageIndex pages and a few other places. Don't remind me of this... It hurts :P
