Fuse Talk Cookies

[Netopia]

I'm not sure if that title gives a good idea of what I'm talking about. Here's the thing I'm trying to get at. I use three or four different computers over the course of a typical day. I go to various forums from all of them. One thing I've noted is that If I go to a phpBB forum on one machine and then read some posts, if I later go to another machine, those posts are NOT shown as new.

If, however, I do the same thing with AnandTech, go to machine A and read/post to some threads, and then later go to machine B and look at "my forums", it show the threads as having new content even though I read the threads already, just on another machine.

Is there any way to make it more like phpBB, where if you read a thread or post, it doesn't matter where you log in from, the forum knows what you've read and not read?

You visit other forums? :shocked:

rsync your anandtech cookie amongst the PCs?

I was sort of hoping that it was a FuseTalk function. If I wanted to go to the trouble to sync cookies, I'd probably just remote into one machine and do my browsing from there.

NOTHING of useful information?

Other forums that I know of, allow you to see the latest new posts within a topic since your last visit, but some FuseTalk forums may have that ability. However, I'm not sure if this board has that functionality or not.
