Bizarre !

I've had no issues at all for around 2 weeks.  !@#

You're using firefox aren't you Nino? I find there are very few probs with it, every now and then I find a thread with an unread post not coming up in the "Show unread posts..." but it's pretty rare. Not sure if IE has more probs??

I use Firefox, and I've had no problems for a while. All defaults are set in the options..

Firefox seems to handle it better. For some reason, IE does not remove read posts if you go back to the "Unread posts" page by pressing the back button. Weird!

OK guys, I found a workaround/short term fix on the SMF forums for this issue which I have implemented. Please keep an eye on this problem and let me know if it is now fixed/better/worse.

That's a good sign. It might be picking up those that you missed before. The guys over at SMF suggested this might happen.

Does anyone have any comments to make about this fix? Has it fixed the issue?

I've been doing some testing on IE and the workaround appears to have fixed the problem, I can't see any missed posts in any of the sub-sections  #*# I'll let you know if the problem re-occurs or I find anything else unusual.

Cheers,
Matthew

I have not had the issue for a bit longer - but I'm using Firefox.. Sounds like "no news is good news"

I even found that the very few Firefox were missing seem to be getting picked up now, good work Tony.
