"New Posts" question...

[Cap'n_RDM]

Is there a setting I can adjust to where the threads with new posts stay indicated as such (with bold text and the option to "view unread posts") for a longer period of time? If I log on to the boards to check out new posts but get pulled away for a few minutes (I don't know the actual minute count but it isn't very long) before I get a chance to go into all the sub-forurms I normally check when I come back all the threads are shown as having been read.

I don't think there's a way to set this individually. It's based on vBulletin's cookie session timeout setting, currently set at twenty minutes.

I sometimes get caught out by this without even leaving my computer - just because I'm reading through a long thread.
