Read and Unread thread issues

[Overboost44]

Up until the last 3 or 4 months, whenever I read a thread it would go from bold to "not bold" print, so I could tell that there were no new posts. Every time I would refresh by going to the "new posts" link, the threads that I read would now be unbolded.

It doesn't do this anymore. Does anyone know why? I didn't change anything and I have read the information in the user help page. I am using a MacBook if that matters.

Thanks in advance.

I blame mario.

I would agree, but this has been months and I have no other problems with the forum.

I do realize you may have been making a joke, but I just wanted to put that out there.

Sorry. Not paying that much attention. What's it doing?

What Antigun is referring to is that "Mario" link that someone put up and it may be a virus. There is a thread for that.

It is working fine for me. I'm not sure what your problem is.

 

[Overboost44]

Wow, I had to look it up but I learned how to do a screen shot on my Mac
Here is a screen shot of what I see now:
Since I have already read these threads, when I refresh, the titles of the threads that I have read used to not be in bold text any longer. This made it easy to see if there were new posts since I last read them. Does that help?

Every now and then, going back a long time, I have the same problem for random threads. No matter how many times I go into it, it still shows unread when I refresh.

Have you tried clearing your cache?

Have you tried clearing your cache?

I just did that since you suggested it. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Was the last poster in that thread on your ignore list? That might be the cause of the issue. It does that on my Kindle.

Otherwise I'll say it was some Aliens.

Yup

What? I can't hear you!








I have no one on ignore.

Those Xenomorphs again?

Are the New Posts updating properly or are they staying the same each time you go back to the New Posts area?

New posts are updated, but the ones that I have read are still bold. I have pretty much resigned to the fact that I can do nothing about it. Not a huge deal, I just thought i was overlooking something that would be a simple fix. Thanks Jim.

Try one more thing for me. Go to your UserCP. Once there, down on the left hand side at the bottom, click on List Subscriptions. Are they all bolded?

Also make sure you are still Logged In. You may want to Log Out and Log In again to see if this would reset your stats.

Good Luck!

ON the user CP, and in my subscriptions, only one was in bold. Also when I go to the "forums" page and into the individual forums, the only ones in bold are ones that I haven't read. It is when I am on the home page, then "new posts" that they don't show unbolded after I have read them.

I did log out, close my browser and logged back in again and that made no difference.
