Disable auto "marked as read" for certain TKB topics

triSolutionFuse,

You can also mark the post read using some customization after defining your criteria and conditions  and use below API to mark that message/post to be read:

Thanks Parshant . I took a look at this after you pointed it out, and at first glance this does appear to be what i needed. However, it also appears that this feature is configurable by the end user, which would ultimately allow users to bypass our additional criteria to mark a topic as read.

I'm still looking to disable "mark as read" for all posts within a certain node, that is not bypass-able by the enduser if at all possible. If there isnt an easy way, i'll contact support to see if there is a "switch" on their end...
