Hi dave,

While we hoped to give you an answer, or an immediate resolution to the problem, the situation is still being looked at. The Marked Forums Read link at the bottom of the forums seems to cause quite a stir, as we have seen issues with it before.

The temporary solution is to use the Forum Actions drop-down for Mark Forums Read.

Thank you once again.

Maybe some help, but I get the same popup on two other Designer media forums.
