anyone else having problems posting or seeing where there are new posts?

[Marky]

The 'new' posts always seem to reset itself while i'm browsing

[Ickle Angel]

It was probbaly something to do with the board server playing up yesterday

ditto,

anyways of fixing this Chris?

[Sidders]

Works fine for me, probably something wrong with your cookie settings.

[Dickie]

Nope, every other phpBB message board i use is fine, just this one that sometimes says i have no new posts to read when i'm casually clicking around the various sections.

[Sidders]

What browser?

[Dickie]

Firefox

[MK Chris]

I'm fine in both Firefox at home and IE at work. It must be something to do with the cookies, try deleting it and starting over.

[Chris]

It appears fine for me

[Dickie]

Have deleted cookies,

will let you know how i get on.

[Marky]

I deleted my cookies a couple of days ago. Did not help

[Dickie]

I put it down to multiple tabs of the forum open in firefox

[Dickie]

What seems to happen is when i leave the forum and comeback it thinks ive read posts that were new the last time i visited

[MK Chris]

What so you have new posts, read some but not others, then come back and they are all marked as read? That has always happened to me, I think that's part of the phpBB cookie settings, couldn't be sure though.

[Marky]

No the problem is: after reading a thread and returning to the list of threads or main forum index, they all get reset to 'no new posts'.

[Sidders]

That happens to me too, and always has. You just have to read all the new posts before you go elsewhere.

[Dickie]

Sometimes i only want to read a couple though but come back later for the rest. Havnt got any phpBB2 set up at the mo but i know you can tweak the cookies, dont know to what extent though.

[Sidders]

You can still keep it open in the background, then it doesn't do it.

[Dickie]

Yeah but

e.g.

I get a topic reply in my email and i visit that topic. Sometimes i do that at night before shutting down PC or in morning before i go out.

Its annoying that even if i just read 1 post that all the others get read when i exit.

[Mcqueen_]

Well I don't read all threads, so I wouldn't want the threads I chose not to read to still be classed as 'new' when I return - when they aren't new anyway.
