* did it before the "refresh"....
* refreshed (again... threads where shown as read while there not)
* visited again the debug page (data seen by me wasn't changed there)
* visited again after posting this post (time has changed)

as reported in previous post... the status seems to be resetting every thread to "read" which has a post before this date/time set by the cookie (also the ones I didn't read).

Well, your threadread cookie looks perfect to me...

That time shown for the last viewed thread applies only to that thread... each thread has it's own time, and they don't (or shouldn't) affect each other.

Are you by any chance using the "Mark All Forums Read" script often, or doing other strange things such as logging out and logging back in?

i use the mark all forums read script when i'm done reading all the threads, but only BECAUSE of the problem

It "seems" to only happen when I've replied to a thread which had a unread post. After posting and refreshing, it seems that the unread/read script only checks this cookie for the date/time and sets all the other threads before it to "read"....

Nope, I use that almost never. about logging in and out, nope, I'm always logged in.

Indeed, once in a while, while I'm 500% certain I've read them all, I use it for the same reason...

OK, well, now I have a "lead" to investigate... thanks...

Let me know if you notice any other patterns...

is there a chance its fixed in RC1??? because if it is, theres no point in fixing it...

There's a chance, but I can't test it until I actually upgrade.

so why not just do that, and then fix it afterwards....


it would get the RC1 stuff out of the way. i can live with the bug for a bit more. its just kinda an annoyance, really

Well, I doubt it will be fixed in RC1... there's no reason for it to be, really...

I had a theory about the bug but based on the last few entries in my debug log, it seems that the theory is crap.

Another question for you: do you only have this problem on the latest posts page, or forumdisplay as well? Try opening a forum, reading some threads, then refreshing the forum to see if the icons change correctly.

i tried in F&W, and it worked, but there was just one post with an unread icon. so now isn't a good opertunity. i'll try tomorow morn when i wake up
