Yeah that is probalbly what is happening is you have a delay in your timeout.
Haha TM is a NEWB!!!!
Actually, I'm kinda surprised that SMF doesn't have that feature. In looking at the mods, there isn't one for this. I guess I'm going to have to create my own; I miss that vB function myself.
In the mean time, just be sure to go through all the new posts, because if you don't and you time out, it'll forget them. They will still be there (The blue SUO icons will still be there) but you have to click them manually.
And yes, noobsause for sure.
