Moved Threads Not Updating "Read" Flag
Hi:

I have a minor albiet annoying problem on my Forum install. I am pretty sure this has more to do with me editing templetes, and less to do with a forum bug. However, I am not sure where/how the viewed thread flags are set, so I thought I would post this, and see if anyone can point me specifically to where I should make the fix.

The problem is this: when a thread is moved to a different forum, the "moved" pointer in the old forum continues to show the "unread" icon. The only way to clear this is to click "Mark All Read"

That's not a problem with your templates, it's just a bug.

It sounds like the moved icon isn't being used for moved posts - the moved icon is a white page with a blue arrow coming out of it. The template code should look something like:

Code:
<%if post_moved%>
<img src="<%image_url%>/post_moved.gif" alt="Post Moved">
<%else%>
<%GForum::Post::status_icon($post_thread_hot, $post_new, $post_replies, $new_replies)%>
...
