Intermittent problem with the forums

Post by dazman76 »

Hi All,

I'm having a strange problem with the forums, and wondered if anyone else was seeing the same thing.

Basically, sometimes when I read threads with new posts, they aren't being flagged as read. So, if the thread 'Login Problems' in 'Technical Support' has *1* new post, I visit the thread (either by clicking the title, or clicking the 'First New Post' link), read the new post, and then go back to the 'Technical Support' forum (using the link on the top of the thread).

After doing this, the new post I just read is still showing as a new post - I can verify this by going back into the thread, and checking again. Sometimes it's the same post, and it hasn't been edited or anything. So, again I return to the Tech Support forum, and the topic *still* shows an unread post, and again it's the one I just read twice!

The problem seems to be intermittent - usually the forums work fine, every so often the damn topics refuse to be marked as read, even when I've read them.

It also affects the 'Mark Forum as Read' option on the Forum Tools dropdown - I've just marked the 'Tech Support' forum as read 3 times in a row, and still the same threads are showing the same 'new' posts.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

Cheers guys

EDIT: This is also happening with this thread - the thread list shows an unread post, and the only post here is mine! Ehhhhhh? :)

Damn Daz, after reading that post I feel like you hit me with a "confuse 6" or something.... lol :D

-Edit- Ok I know what you mean m8.. I find many forums play tricks like that on me, not just this one :)
