When you read a post, information is stored in a cookie on your computer which includes information that you have read the post. The biggest disadvantage of this system is, that you loose the marked read/unread information with closing your browser. The UPI2DB system does not store the information as a cookie on the computer, but separately in the database.");

cookie system has faster page-loading than the UPI2DB system, because this system must load the information about posts that have been read from the database. A
further advantage is that the data will be stored over many months, because you don't delete the data from your machine. This is interesting for users who only
visit the forum every 2 months.<br /><strong>Disadvantage:</strong> The largest disadvantage so far with this system is that you automatically
mark all posts as read by closing the browser. A further disadvantage is, that edited posts won't get marked as unread again and therefore won't get any further
attention.");

normal unread messages. A new search function allows one to look for unread and edited contributions only. When the Admin activated to display edited
contributions in the top of the Topics, edited contributions will be displayed at the first line of the topic.<br

contribution was read, remains stored only over a certain time period, afterwards posts will automatically be marked as read. The standard time period is set to
30 days. But this may vary on the settings from your Admin.");
