Threads showing as read.

Since the new software, we still have a little issue regarding threads showing as having been read. If a forum shows that you have two threads not yet read and you go into either of them, on returning to the forum it shows both as having been read.

I think you must refer to the notification box. This does indeed show that you have seen the notifications as soon as you return to it.

 

I usually open all unread threads in what they call "tabs"; the browser I am currently using on the mac opens a new page when I hold the CMD-key (the pretzel) while clicking on a link. Safari also has a reading list which serves the same purpose. I then peruse each thread and then close the tab. That way, I don't have to remember the titles of the threads I have yet to read.

What I am referring to is the little box to the left of a thread title which is highlighted with a dot in the middle of it if you have not read the thread. If you click on it, it takes you to the last post you read in that thread. If you have a post of your own within the thread, the dot is replaced with a star. 

 

This is still happening.

I now have tried to provoke the error on three different computers with two completely different browsers and have failed. 

 

However, Safari on the iMac forgets my name after a number of pages, and then the forum I return to does not appear to have any unread posts left. But as soon as a sign in again, the unread posts are clearly marked as such. Opera on the same Mac works well and quite a bit faster than the old Safari.

I tried it again and it didn't happen  :lol: I had a problem with my iPad today and the Apple shop reset it. Perhaps it was something to do with my iPad? 

 

I shall keep an eye on it, Philip, and report back if it comes back. It might be one of those irritating intermittent things I suppose.
