The wording is different but the functions are identical.
BABB's: "
View posts since last visit"
and our: "
View unread posts"
Do the same thing.
However,
this board remembers your unread posts even if you close your browser and come back later. You can also mark posts unread that you have already read. If anything, you are much less likely to miss something here than you were on BABB or most other phpBBs that don't use the "Keep Unread" mod.
The wording is different because of complaints that "View unread posts" doesn't do what it claims in an unmodded phpBB. It never did. "View posts since last visit" was the new wording to more accurately represent the function.
With the "Keep Unread" mod that we use here, "View unread posts"
really does show you all your unread posts.
You never really did have this feature at BABB (or other phpBBs), but you do here.
These are
all the same function. The only difference is that
here, it remembers
all your unread posts, not just since last visit.
