Currently the board software marks all threads as read after one hour, even if you didn't read them. This is done because normally most people don't read all threads, just those which interest them. If the board software wouldn't mark them as read, they would remain as new forever!
Some people have suggested to increase this timeout from one hour to 12 hours or even a whole day. What do you think?

No, unfortunately not, the board software doesn't support it. I would have to write a modification, but it would require changes to the database too. I'm not experienced enough yet with PHP and MySQL to do this.

I've done quite a bit of both PHP and MySQL, so maybe I could look at this issue. What is the name of the global configuration setting that governs this? I have searched through the source code and the online sample board, but I can't find this setting anywhere. |

The variable is called $board_config['session_length'] and is the length of the session in seconds.
