There are a couple of issues relating to the "Mark All Forums Read" feature.

First issue ... the La Femme 2 and Poser Beginner's Hub forums frequently show unusual login information, such as with "fake" account names. This is persistent and occurs daily.

Secondly, when I press the "Mark All Forums Read" button, everything seems OK for a while. But then the next day, posts from the day or two before show up again. This also happens on a daily basis.

I was hoping that it would be fixed with the recent forum updates, but no luck. Is there any way this can be fixed?

It was apparent that spammers inundated the Poser Beginner's Hub, rendering it useless for average users. Now, La Femme 2 has become the new target. You're right, something needs to be done very soon before we lose our regular users.

I haven't had problems with the Mark All Read feature yet.

Can you send a screen shot to support https://support.renderosity.com/ so our dev can see what you're talking about?

Sure thing.  I will do the "Mark All Forums Read" thing now, and when posts reappear I will take a screen cap.

I have a very stupid questin... are this Spammers humans? or Bots? Maybe it can help just let absolutely fresh new created accounts not post in the forum? I was confused about this too @Deecey I thought I missed the click and thats why they show unread again.

New accounts need approval from a mod before a post can be seen by everyone. These are what you're seeing indications of. It is being worked on. 

Secondly, when I press the "Mark All Forums Read" button, everything seems OK for a while. But then the next day, posts from the day or two before show up again. This also happens on a daily basis.

I don't think it's that old posts become new. I think that when a spam post is deleted, it throws off the count so that the forum thinks you haven't seen the most recent post... which no longer exists. It can't mark you as having seen the non-existent post but the post count still includes the non-existent post, so there is going to be a discrepancy until a real post shows up.

The fix would be for Mark All Read to look at the post numbers rather than the posts that still exist.

Side note, it would be nice if threads were marked as read automatically after you read them, instead of needing to manually mark forums as read.

OK I took a screen cap that shows the issue I get with posts that are still highlighted after using Mark All Forums Read.  I am certain I have used the button yesterday but didn't highlight them because I can't remember what time I did it. So some of the ones that don't have a red rectangle around them might also be "resurrections"

Hope this clarifies the issue.

Hi Deecey,

I am unable to replicate any issues on my end. Could you send me a sitemail message if this happens again?

Thanks,
