You're the first person to notice and while it was a neat little feature it was quite performance unfriendly. As such I believe that something will improve the user experience for most is not a bad thing to sacrifice for a few. Finding unread messages is easy via the "unread" messages link plus the unread icons on the forum listing.

The idicators mentioned are context-less also and only reflect the status of an entire forum same as "unread" icons on the forum listing.

Right, which makes it easier to jump to the next forum that has threads with unread messages. I read all new posts by forum and thread. I assume that is is how Wild_Cat does it as well.

Well, if you click the "unread messages" on the front page it'll give you all messages you haven't read broken down by category/forum/topic.

That's exactly what it does... it shows all messages that were posted since you last read them...

Oh, sure, it just means one extra click every time when I dealed with one forum - just to see what is another among those I'm interested in where there are unread messages, that's all!
For instance, here I don't read every forum and when I click on "unread messages" on the first page, it gives me all new messages. Alternately, I have new messages list within a forum and then - see above - I have to return back to main page before continuing in difference of what had been one click before.
But well, since it's affecting performance... which doesn't matter much in my case but I guess might be important for someone... What about a kind of mechanism letting do easier the logic of going through forums I described as such:
A link beside "unread messages" inside a forum kinda "next unread forum", which could lead to a script which would only when clicked calculate what is the next forum I'm interested in - basing on my forum subscriptions - and give the list on unread messages in it?
OK, OK, I know I can do it myself if I want it too much... just may be not only two of us find such a way of navigation useful since it has been present and well visible all the time!

If you click on the unread messages link and then click on subscribed forums/topics link you will ONLY see messages new messages inside forums/topics you are subscribed to.

To mark currently viewable message as read, simply click the "more unread messages" link at the bottom. This will mark all current visibile messages as read and display any further unread messages if any are available.

Oh, this could be substitution/ The only problem - not obvious to any user if he only had 2-3 unread msgs that he needs to click on "next" to get them marked read and not be confused.
Another use of [unread] mark at the bottom list of forums was that if there was any new messages while I were seeing another forum, I were seeing it by ünread"mark appearing in the list. Otherwise I should especially check it...
Well, what to say, this "unread" at the bottom was quite more obvious mechanism while you talked me into the same things still being possible, but they all required explanations and how should everybody explain to all users why he say has threads still marked unread etc?... Performance should not overpower ease of use, as to me. *sigh*
--------------------------------------
BTW, one more thing - in the template there is lack of links in UserCP some links are marked as UserCP class and some are not, resulting in different look of links in this sting/ In your forum it looks uniform but in mine fresh upgrade which replaced templates again I have half of the upper links underlined say, not to speak about funny look of changes in custom CSS... Just to let you know about need to recheck the markup.

I checked usercp.tmpl and all links have class="UserControlPanel", if you spot any that I missed please let me know.

I have spotted the reason of the problem - it's in forum.css file. The matter is it contains no subclass for a.UserControlPanel:visited, so it takes visited link sttyle from a:visited and thus visited links become underlined while the CP itself isn't - in default forum installation. It can affect other things too like in my case when I changed the font-size and color of UserCP links - I've got some links updated and some different, then I found the problem.
Actually I never used UserCP on this forum, now I did and dioscovered the same inconsistency is present even here (counting that marking UserCP links as visited whhile it's not in the rest of the forum, it's irrelevant in itself).

So making CSS do: a.UserControlPanel, a.UserControlPanel:visited
fixes the problem?

(OK, may be there are other unread forums and topics lists kind in message navigator I never really tried, still it was handy as the most obvious way to do so). Was it really intentional? Why then?
