Change in a Lounge feature?

Post by viking33 »

Has there been a change in a Lounge feature? No big deal but in the past I have always used "mark all posts read" after reading the posts that interest me. When the posts have been marked, it would return me to the main forum index page automatically after a slight pause.
Now it offers to return but I must click on the link to do it. Sample shown below.
----------------------------
All forums have been marked read.

Return to the index page
------------------------------
No huge inconvenience but I like the auto return part. :shrug:

I wonder if it's a skin thing, Bob. I never use Portal, so I mark 'em all read at the top right of the Index page and I just checked mine (subsilver2 skin). After about 2 seconds, it does still return to the Index page.

Can't remember what skin you use...

Edit to add: I just tried the Rainbow Pearl and AeroBlack and it returned automatically for me.

all I can add at this stage is that I haven't touched anything, so, a skin discrepancy seems to be the most logical explanation.

Alas, I can't look into it now because I'm nowhere near the source code (read: on holidays)
Cheers, Claude.

I guess it's a skin thing. I now notice it does basically the same thing after I make a new post. It adds a third line that says "View your submitted message" or something similar. I know that this used to be an automatic action until recently.
I DO use Rainbow Pearl skin.
Again, nothing earth shaking, just another click does it.
