How come...

Postby Nicholas » Fri Dec 08, 2006 2:00 pm

In the past few days I've noticed that when I read a thread or even post to one..the little arrow and orange rectangle thingy are still checked against the thread title in the forum page. That should mean there are new posts in the thread but I was just there and it even shows my name as the last poster. I was wondering if CoolIris was messing things up when I used it to scan posts or even reply to posts but it still happens when I do stuff "normally".....

If you're hitting "back" after reading, you probably need to F5 refresh to clear the arrow and rectangle thingy.

If you reply to a post but don't view your reply, then your post will show as unviewed.

Sorry, neither of those apply....I can post a reply, go back to the forum level, read the thread again (including my post) and go back to the forum and it is still marked as "new messages"..


...and now everything has suddenly been marked as read. No new posts anywhere. But that may be my cursor hovering over the Marl All Posts as Read and CoolIris being dumb.

are you using IE? Sometimes it has... issues... I have that problem sometimes at work because I have IE there... but at home with Firefox it never happens.

Firefox 2.0. Never use IE unless the site dictates it (the Bell internal sites only accept IE).

OK..I'm keeping my eyes and brain cells open to find a pattern or cause.
