Problem: forum timeout?

[Drizzt]

This is what happen:

I'm at work.

I login into the forum and find a lot of unread thread.

Then, as I'm at work, I sometimes have to stop reading and leave for a bit. I however leave the browser opened on the page I was reading.

When I come back, I finish reading and go back to the main forum page.

Often, the forum engine mark every thread as read even if I have not still look into them. And, strange enough, I'm still logged in...

Can't this timeout being eliminated or almost extended?

I've been getting more busy lately and the timeout has screwed up my daily goal of making sure I read all posts. I've started opening browser windows from the "View New Posts" links when I initially log on (usually two or three pages worth). I then open a new browser window from the new posts link from a thread, read the thread updates, close the window and repeat with the next thread. My next goal is to quit reading the MURC so much.

I leave the View New Posts tab (2) open in Mozilla and refresh the main forums page (tab 1). Then open another View New Posts in yet another tab (3) just to be sure nothing is missed.

Ok, well, what about raising or totally removing that timeout?

In Opera you can use the automatic reload function. You can set a time interval for automatic reloading of any Web page. I Use it all the time . Maybe mozilla has a simaler feature.

But it's actually a bad thing for using the forums, because it will set all new posts to "already read" everytime it reloads.
