Help me.. the Batwings will not go away!!!

After every session, I check "Mark as Read" -Visible discussions- and all the threads become hidden.

Yet, without fail, the next time I log in, Batwings is back up at the top of the list!
And there's never anything new about them that should make them come back.

I have nothing against Batwings or the people who like them,
I just don't want to see them every time!

Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? :-)

Hi Jesse. I have not found a "Mark as Read". THe way the forum works is if you read it, it is marked as read. In the drop-down of the more menu, there is a "Mark as UNREAD" option, perhaps you are checking this everytime and so it returns????

Try just reading it and logging out and log back in again. See if it is set as read.

Hi Jesse, hmmm that is an odd one.

Sounds like it may be some kind of bug in the forum, I have not seen that before though.

You might try clearing cookies in your browser, and also try this link which clears out some other possibly cached forum stuff:
http://moi3d.com/forum/logon.php?webtag=MOI&deletecookie=yes

Also at the top of the topic list on the left side pane of the forum, there is a View: option, is that set to "View: All discussions" when that happens, or is it possibly set to something else.

The way it is supposed to work is that it should get marked as read after you just click on it one time, it shouldn't be necessary to do that "Mark as read" thing.

Let me know if it continues after clearing cookies, maybe there is something messed up in the database that is not letting the read status for you to get updated properly.

There are parametric scripts for Enneper, Henneberg, Scherk1 and Scherk2.
Catenoid and Helicoid are easy.
