Problem with read threads

Commander Gizmo · 11-01-08, 08:48 PM

Perhaps this is the wrong place, but I did search around.

l am having trouble with the forums (1 spend most of the time in SH3) not properly noting what I have read and what I haven't. The why it is working now seems to be precisely the same as if I wasn't logged in at all. This is really annoying and makes it hard to keep trade of things.

I have tested this on multiple computers with multiple OS's and multiple browsers each. All behave the same, even after clearing client side data, such as cookies.

Any ideas?

[EDIT] For example, this thread is marked as unread.

You want someone to fix this, right?

I don't know why it is doing that. Check with Zachstar and see if he knows.

When did I become the expert on forums?

The forum with me seems to be marking topics as unread as well I really have not had the time to mess with settings and seeing what is up yet.

Sorry.

Any chance you could clear the server side cookies for my account?

You're not, but since you think domain owners should have to cover the costs of the website, I figured I better get you involved to help.

Commander Gizmo, I will run some database maint. tonight, maybe that will fix it for you.

Commander Gizzmoe, what browser are you using?

Commander Gizmo · 11-01-08, 11:37 PM

I use IE7, IE6, Firefox, and Opera on XP and Vista. To explain: I create websites and have test and virtual machines set up for this purpose. I just ran through them again, and all behave the same. Actually, that is a bit of an accomplishment itself.

Ok well Gizmo was not involved and you wasted his time with your spat with me. You got a problem with my statement? You ought to have posted in the topic involved.

Onkel Neal · 11-02-08, 09:07 AM

There's no spat here, I'm just looking for additional resources to help.

Commander Gizmo · 11-13-09, 10:27 PM

I'm curious who else has this issue so I've opened a poll to find out if I'm in the extreme minority.

Dowly · 11-15-09, 08:43 AM

Yeh, I have the same issue aswell.

Haven't encountered any problems.
Vista - Firefox.

It happens to me - XP/FireFox - but to be honest I've never found it anything more than a very minor embuggerance.

SUBSIM's read/unread functionality has been screwed ever since I first arrived... er, two years ago? It doesn't really bother me.
