Most of the information can be found on backup forum: us (site down, do not visit) ]/index.php?topic=10.0]"Topic: We have a problem with the International Forum!"

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Two things solve it quickly: 1) Show unread posts since last visit, click on and it'll list all posts that are truly unread. 2) "Mark ALL messages as read", near forum footer, this will turn off "unread" status on boards.

I'll add - you can register again just fine and I will take care of wiring your posts back to you and all that. As long as you can get into contact with me, there is 100% chance you get 99.9% back

There is already one "repaired" user so I know it is possible.
