Let me try that again.

Maybe nobody reads messages the way I do since no one has pointed this out yet.

After I have read all the messages from inside a forum I select Mark at the top of the page. That marks the messages as read and takes me to a white screen with a few bits of text at the top. I then close that window, select message board again and read the next board that I haven't read yet.

I like the way AVSIM boards works. Which this board appears to operate basically the same. After selecting Mark while still in a board. The messages get marked and you are brought right back to the board selection screen. With the board previously read cleared. And you are ready to pick the next board.

I intermittently get the same effect when marking messages. I have discovered that the refresh button makes the forum selection screen appear. Only thing I can guess is that some portion of the page isn't getting through for some reason. Ben rearranged some things on that page trying to resolve this problem, but the code displayed when the problem occurred just changed. Maybe it is some sort of timing issue with the script's data file access.

I just tried refresh and it popped up the forum selection screen. I've never thought about hitting refresh since it has always put me to the white screen after marking. I just figured that's the way it was working at the moment. Thanks.
