[QUOTE="torgo, post: 2773, member: 909"] [FONT="Georgia"]I'm seeing a couple of situations where posts that I have read (or marked as read) are still showing up as new. Not sure if it's just me or not, but it's pretty reproducible. The easiest one to do is using the "Mark Forums Read" link at the top level of the forms. Originally this cleared out all the "New" indications for all of the sub-forums, but now it doesn't. The other way appears to be linked to navigation order of pages. Following these steps: 1. Select a forum that has "New" posts. 2. Read all the new posts in that form. 3. Using the top navigation path, go back up higher than that form (for example, if reading in the "Site News" forum, go back up to "Nikonites", rather than going back up to "Site News" 4. At the top level, "Site News" will still have the icon coloration showing that there are unread posts. Going back into "Site News" and seeing that there are really no new posts, and [I]then[/I] navigating back up a level to "Nikonites" now shows that "Site News" has no unread posts. But, if instead in step 3 you were to navigate back to the forum you were reading ("Site News"), and [I]then[/I] go up to "Nikonites", it would display correctly, showing that there are no unread posts. I've seen this happen in just about all of the forum areas, not just "Site News". Something to do with needing to visit the actual forum's topics page in order to actually get posts marked as read? I know things used to work where as soon as you read a post, no matter where you went to next, it was marked as read. Not really an earth-shattering problem, but annoying for my style of forum browsing. I've experienced this on multiple computers (although both Macs; one running Safari 4 and one with Safari 5), so I don't think it's a cache/cookie problem. Any thoughts?[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
