I have AF working on my site and I am delighted with it. One small point.

The 'New Post' icons (the big yellow star overlying the folder) do not reset unless you actually open the new post(s) concerned. The normal behaviour on Forums is for all such icons to be set back to zero when you leave the Forum so that, next time you visit, you only see flags on stuff that is new since your last visit.

We have 24 Forums on our site. Any one member probably visits only 5 or so regularly. Having the other 19 lit up like a Christmas tree unless you go into them and open up the new posts is not helpful.

If this could be changed I think it would be a great improvement.

That's not how Drupal's forum works and not a feature I'm interested in implementing, sorry. That would drive me bonkers if every post got marked read simply because I took a quick peek at the forum. Your users can make use of the Mark all Read functionality or you could custom code something if it's really needed.

You are right of course - the 'Mark all Read' buttons give Users the option to clear everything as they leave if that is what they want to do. I had overlooked them - despite the fact they are there staring me in the face every time I visit the Forums!

Thanks again for a great module.
