O.P. mybb: unread/new posts
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!

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

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

It's porbably fixed in RC2 though... :P

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

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...)
