Is it just me? Can't mark msgs read.

[Pyros]

For some reason when I'm in a topic index of a single forum, when I click the "mark all messages as read" it won't mark them. After the page loads again the new message signs are still there and if I go to the main forum index it claims there are unread messages in the forum. I have tried it a couple of times, no result. It does work on other forums I have tried it on, and I do have all cookies allowed, etc.

I'll look into it, but I just ran a quick test and had no problem. The one in the forum should only mark that forum read, not the rest of the board. Theres a link on the main page, and when you view new that'll mark everything (or should).

What OS and browser are you using?

Thanks!:asian:

I tried them again. The "Mark this forum read" doesn't work for me. "Mark all forums read" on the other hand works fine (always has).

I have Win98SE and IE 6.0. I also have Opera 6.05, I'll try that in a moment...

...same thing happens with Opera!

Try it later tonite n let me know.

Anyone else having this issue?

Short update, I tried going forum by forum using different browsers, and have not been able to recreate the problem on my end. I will try again later tonite with a second PC.

I've had the problem. Try "mark this forum read" without actually
reading the posts. Then close the browser, and restart it. Maybe
hit a couple other pages, and then come back. Without a new
post, it will be marked again as "unread". It happens often with
me.

Hey, now it works!

 

[Pyros]

As someone who does websoftware myself, I'm interested... Did you change something, as it now works? What did you change and how?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

All I did was toggle the setting to 'remember' you. My guess is its a cookie thing.

I'm having this problem right now. It works for like a minute or two, then they go back to being marked unread.

Give it a day to settle down...might have something to do with me playing with the templates n styles....
