Does anyone, here, ever "Mark Thread as Read" in their newsgroups??
Late last year, I mucked up badly by deleting my main SeaMonkey profile (Yes,
what I goose I am!!), so then I had to re-create my profile, including my
account for this server, and four groups on news.mozilla.org, and my UseNet
server account, with about twenty groups on news.eternal-september.org.
Then I went through and downloaded all the headers for those groups. On this
server, I was up-to-date with my reading, so just marked the groups as read
... job done!
Different story for UseNet! What I had usually been doing was read all the
"new" threads and threads with some unread messages in them and then read some
of the "old" threads so, after downloading all the threads, then, for any
thread I had posted to, I marked the entire thread as read.
And then I kept reading .....
Then, in one of the UseNet groups, I wasn't interested in one of the newer
threads, so I killed that thread when there were about 25 posts. To be honest,
I'm not sure, now, if I "Mark Thread as Read" or if I "Message - Ignore Thread
(K)", but, now, when I look through that newsgroup, that thread shows as 12
Unread out of 42, or some such, and, in the Threads pane, if I expand that
thread, I see about 30 "Read" messages and ZERO unread messages.
And, no matter how many times I click on "Mark Thread as Read", the figures
still stand ... I'm told I still have 12 Unread out of 42.
It didn't worry me much .... until tonight, when I was reading (I think,
another) group, one of the threads that I had "Mark Tread as Read"/"Message
Ignore Thread" was showing as 16 unread out of 48, or some such, and all these
unread messages were in "twigs" that I hadn't contributed to but the "twig"
that I had contributed to *WAS* marked as read.
This leads me to ask .... When I click on "Mark Thread as Read" does SeaMonkey
really mark the entire thread as read (as it should) or does it just mark the
TWIG as read ... which in many threads would be enough??
it marks the *twig* as read, as far as I know
Or has "Mark Thread as Read" gotten mixed up with "Message Ignore Sub-thread
(Shift K)" or something??
P.S. In the second case, I'm down to less than 40,000 unread messages out of a
total on about 220,000 messages so I sure hope no-one suggests I delete the
index file entry and start from scratch again!! ;-(
;-)
TIA
Mark as Read works for me, but I found that I had to shut down & start up or
restart the application to see the effects.
