So I clicked on the peoplemark name and read that person's posts. I then clicked on the PeopleMarks "header" near the top of the web page and that person was still shown as having unread peoplemarks. I might be willing to spring for an upgraded subscription. After all, I spend my life here and you guys have to make a living. But I am reluctant to do it when the "regular" site isn't even working properly. That's a pretty small "non-working" item. Currently, the only way to reset a peoplemarked person's message count back to zero is to hit the "Reset" link for them. I haven't decided how I want to deal with that counter yet. One thing I can certainly do is if you've read the last message they've written, reset them to zero. Let me give it some thought and I'll make it my first project of the day.

When reading posts sequentially by author from the PeopleMarks page, each post read results in a decrease in their new post count that'll show up on the PeopleMarks page. I just put that change into production a minute ago. I'm very reluctant to touch that number anywhere else. For example, what if you encounter one of their messages while reading a thread. Seems to me we wouldn't want the number touched then. What about when reading from their profile. Also seems we wouldn't want to touch the number then, either, since the whole purpose of that number is really to give a means to read their messages sequentially. Showing how many messages of theirs we haven't read seems a secondary purpose to me. Thoughts anyone?
