Is there any way to set a longer period of time before the new message timer expires?

 

What I mean is that when I come to the forum I see immediately which boards have new messages, and when I enter those boards the threads with new messages are bold. But then a timer starts, and often I don't get back to the board listing before it expires, so I can no longer see which threads have new posts in them that I haven't seen yet.

 

Is there any way to adjust that setting? I've looked through the User CP and nothing leapt out at me, so I thought I'd check here.

Yes, I have this problem too.

 

Unfortunately I think we may be stuck with it, since it's largely caused by the vagaries of different browsers' cookie handling methods. I'll see if I can find out more.

Hmm, ok thanks.
