>>I was thinking I had it set up so that if you click NewPosts under Peoplemarks, the counter was decrementing with each "Next". Not so? It is so. Was it doing that before a few minutes ago? Nicely done - I hadn't noticed it doing so before. >>Probably would be easiest to just have both clear the counter. I was calling for consistency more than which way it should work. I agree with you that clicking on a SubjectMark or PeopleMark should not cause a reset, assuming that Mark-As-Last-Read is available in both contexts. A manual Reset is already available. That said, ultimately letting the user decide of they want Subject and Profile to cause a reset should be relatively easy to implement. Easy for me, since you get to do it. :-)

Bob, re "My usage pattern is that if I click the subjectmark, I might not necessarily be reading the posts." That's my preference too, but also think both subjectmarks and peoplemarks should work as much alike as possible. Choices: 1) Make peoplemarks work the same, but for non-premium subs, let clicking on peoplemark also reset the new-post count. 2) For non-premium subs, make new-posts clickable again. Let either click take the user to peoplemarks.aspx, with only the new-post click causing a reset. I prefer 2) because I'd have the option of just looking at the post titles and threads they're on ... yet maintain the "pointer" for reading at a later time. Ron

Have you considered making the "reset" user config ? Why must "reset" cause a reset at "0" ? (But I very happy with changes made recently)

Another sticky issue with how the reset is handled involves using 'last msg' on thread as the trigger. I was reading some of my Peoplemarks this evening. Those people had, coincidentally, made the last post on some threads I have bookmarked. When I returned to Subjectmarks from Peoplemarks, those threads no longer had "new msg" status and now I don't know where my real "last read" point is (or, even exactly which threads those were). Some of them had ~40 unread msg, some ~160. Now cleared, because I read the last post a Peoplemark had made. I haven't checked yet, to see if it works in reverse ... Subjectmarks unintentionally clearing out Peoplemarks. That's probably easier to recover from, though.
