I am looking at how guests are handled when reading threads on my 1.8 system
if a guest reads a thread in a forum the whole forum is marked read, which is odd is this by design ?
I wish to not mark a forum or thread viewed by a guest so my idea was to set the last read cookie to a set value (so some forums to guests are read others not) and adjusted the cookie via jquery to suit the value I set. however this appears to be over ridden when a guest reads a thread ...are the forum read counters stored somewhere else for guests rather than the session cookie ? if they are not can someone explain how that cookie is set ?
