I've done a release of the forum with the following updates:

- Read/unread tracking now works for forums and topics. 
- Fixed an issue with the search results returning html tags in the description.
- I've added a second ad banner after the first post.  A necessary evil I'm afraid.
- Added sponsors page.
- View count now works for topics.

This should be the last release for a while.

** Please let me know of any system issues **

Thanks mate, read topics/forums will return the forum to usable for me. Well done.

uuuhhmmm... mark all read button?

KC, job on the restucture of the site is moving along very well, with no big complaints that I've seen, just small suggestions.
