Gizmo - no, that is what I'm saying - they use the exact same cookies. That way someone who logs into one is automatically logged into the other one. It works really well and is quite cool.
So if I log into the wine forum, and tab over to the lisashea forum, I am now logged in there as well.
Hmmmm the mark all as read idea seems to have worked! I marked all as read in the lisashea forum and have gone back and forth. It seems to be quick now on that initial draw. So would that affect all users who are logged into the lisashea forum but who have not read every single post?
