Hi not sure if this is intentional but if I have a few unread posts showing in the admin bar the mark all topics as read icon does not function. Also when hovering over the icon tooltip shows as undefined. Clearing out the admin postbag seems to restore normal functionality.
Is this intentional due to the the admin post bag taking priority

If they are distinct lists then why can’t they operate independently? It’s not a big deal because in our case there are only 2 admins and due to the relatively low number of posts we probably don’t really need the admin bar.
However if I wish to mark all posts as read using the icon then surely I realise what I am doing and that it would be reasonable to empty the unread messages in the admin post bag?
Like I say no big deal but interested in why you would make it so? I’m probably missing something obvious.

because the postbag is one list for ALL admins and moderators…
the unread list is for your user ONLY… each user has their own, distinct, individual unread list…
so if another admin clears something in the postbag, it can still show up as unread to you in your unread list when you come to the forum…
One other point worth mentioning are posts in moderation (if you use this feature). On your ‘personal’ new posts list you may read a post in moderation but as you are also an admin it will not be removed until the post is actually approved. This is largely to stop it falling down the back of the fridge and being forgotten.
There are no guests on our forum so there is no post moderation hence me entirely missing the point of the feature.
so, why do you need the admin bar plugin?? am I missing something? just remove it and use the quicklink or unread popup list…
I don’t I just left it on to see what it looked like and make sure that my header messing about wasn’t screwing things up.
You never know someone else might like my ‘tweaks’.

Absolutely and – as we have said – we will welcome user created themes to offer.
