Ok, since we're reporting bugs like never before...
How about this one:

There something really fishy going on lately (with the cookies)...

I use "View Latest Posts" all the time, but lately the "unreaded posts in thread" mark (blue arrow) isn't always showing. Sometimes it is, next when I refresh the page, it is gone (I didn't go to the thread yet)....

Or when I did go to a thread with a new post, and I do a refresh on the "view latest posts" the blue arrow is correctly replaced by a grey one, but the thread beneath it gots a blue arrow (while there are no new posts there)

Also, on the main forum page, sometimes there are blue arrows indicating new posts in those forums, when I visit those forums, there isn't any indication of a new post... Only when I click "mark all forums read" the blue arrow will change to grey....

In this manner I'm missing many new posts. I did try everything I can think of with the cache and cookies of my browser (deleting it, refreshing it, disabling it, whatever... I also have this problem on both MSIE as in Netscape)

i think i have a similar problem. i'mr reading in Firebird, so i open up all the new posts that interest me in a new tab each. However, once i'm done reading and return to the latest posts page, and refresh, some of them are still marked blue!


script

do you mean this images: , etc...? I don0t look too much at them because they're and, as you described, sometimes don't work well

Sadly not, well not on my copy of RC1 anyways...

It's porbably fixed in RC2 though...

Edit:  By the way, I'm referring to the "new posts" and "no new posts" forum icons on the index page.

It could be easly fixed IMO (but what do I know about php....er nothing)... whenever you click a link to a thread, to cookie is updated with the date, time and 'name' of that thread....

Then on the "last posts" pages, just check those cookies....

(this is very simple said, I know it's a bit more complicated to make it work... But still...)

that won't work if you use several PCs, like me.

me too. its stored in the DB, like almost everything else..

according to the help pages... it's stored in cookies
