Very minor, but just a little something I thought could be improved. Let's say I idle for ~10 mins and upon coming back to bots4 I logout immediately. Atm, any new forum posts made in that 10 mins are reset (As per the auto forum reset with logging out) and upon logging back in do not show up as new forum posts.
I just thought a little tweak to include such posts as 'new' would be handy.
suggestions

If you're worried about missing posts, idle out instead of logging out. Posts won't be reset then. |

Emphasis on 'minor' and 'handy'. I'm not personally worried about missing posts, but from Ender's point of view, users in such a situation being forced to idle out isn't good design. |

Hmm, it works the same way now as it did in bots2. Idle out to not reset forum status, logout to reset forum status. Not sure if this is worth changing. |

Probably not, just felt like pointing it out really :) |

Would it be possible to make the N go away upon clicking or entering the Topic area or Thead with N on it to make it clear. |

So YOU should write it for ender :) |

It would just require too much storage. Instead of keeping track of just a single timestamp for each bot signifying the time to which they've read the forum, you'd have to do store this timestamp for every bot for every thread. The data could be pushed client-side, but then it becomes tied to the client instead of the account which is not what I would prefer. |
