Unread posts not working ?

Anyone else finding the same problem ?

Not showing anything in/on the "unread posts since last visit" screen, for me.....(and there were some.)

Though the opening page is 'highlighting' 'fings wot I ain't read', yet......and the 'view the most recent posts' is OK, too.

I took that at first sight as "Undead posts not working"; I was wondering if the vampires had found a way of surviving the standard stake through the heart.

It happens to me sometimes. For example after my last AAR post, replies didn't always show up when I used the 'show unread posts since last visit'.

The only time I lose 'unread posts' is if I log out without checking them all.  When I log back in later, they've gone and I only see the ones since I logged out.

Same here, Leon...but that only tends to happen if we have a 'mains flick', while I'm logged onto the forum, and the PC 'switches itself off, and back on again'.

But when that happens, I'll lose all the 'highlighted' threads on the left hand side of the main page, as well.

It's working fine, for me, now. Strange.

Seems to be working fine BUT I occasionally commit an unforced error. I aim to push "List all unread topics", miss, and hit the "mark as read button" just below. I've missed many interesting posts that way.  :o

Isn't that how it is meant to work :-/

Isn't it new posts since I was last logged in

If you want to see all unread you use the "All unread" link

Yeah it is...!   :-[

I'd forgotten that it says 'Unread posts since last visit' up there!
