View Full Version : New Post Notification Problem?

When I finish reading the posts on XPC, I go to the bottom of the page and click on "Mark All Forums Read". Then I leave.

Now, when I come back later, more often than not, when the screen comes up, all the "new post notification" icons are dark. I mean they show no new posts. I then hit the refresh button, and whamo! "New Post Indicators" light up showing new posts since my last visit. (Am I making myself clear? I mean, do you understand what I'm saying?)

Note: This does not happen everytime I pop in. Some times the indicators are on, but usually not.

I am using XP Home, and I am "always logged in" so I don't have to enter my user name and password everytime I pop in. (I never log out)

Is this a quirk of the board, or is it a problem with my machine?

Cookies enabled? You need cookies on your PC to allow it to remember settings like that. Not sure, but that might be the issue.

I don't tend to use the new post icons for anything - I only use the Show new posts button to see what's new. That way, it doesn't matter what PC I'm logged into, as the setting is on the XPC server. :cool:
