Is the "Show unread posts since last visit" and "UNREAD" menu tab working for everyone?

YEP - All good for me - in fact - when you don't have any "unread posts since last visit" - it gives you a message to "select UNREAD"  *%*

Well done Tony  $#$

Er no....

Still losing posts... had some 15 posts on one page last night when i logged off ( the 180+ pages of unread have gone for good)... log on this morning and only 8 posts.
For some reason i dont get the options that Nino does to "click unread"

In fact "unread"is highlighted in toolbar. Clicking this OR "unread since last visit" has same results.

This forum worked well for me until the options to change page colour appeared... ive completely lost the history of unread posts

Are you sure you don't have the stats header minimised at the top of the page. Is there a plus or minus sign at the top right of the page?

Er no....

The option to change colour has nothing to do with this issue. It started happening when I upgraded from 1.1.11 to 1.1.12. Can you please attach a screen shot of what you mean when you say you don't get the same options as Nino?

What i mean is that this ( from nino's post) doesnt happen for me



YEP - All good for me - in fact - when you don't have any "unread posts since last visit" - it gives you a message to "select UNREAD"


Seems to me that im only getting "posts made today" now... all posts shown are from this morning. before i cleared cookies etc i had posts from yesterday in there... these have gone along with the few thousand others

They are similar buttons, but they display different (and expected) results for me ;

"Show unread posts since last visit" = http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?action=unread

"Unread" = http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0

"..since last visit" are NEW post updated since I last logged on. If this list is empty, and I remain logged in for 2 hours, I hit the button again and then IF there are new posts, I see them - it is dynamic.

"Unread" is exactly than - I STILL have over 20 pages of unread posts.

Tony's updates have mostly been "cosmetic" - the only functional item lost was the "Donations" field.

I just had a look and I can see there is a problem with "Mark all messages as read". So I will look into this but I can't see any problems with "Show unread posts".

No problems here using Google Chrome.

As I try to keep the unread posts to a minimum (usually less than a page), I may not be the best person to ask, though.

I think I've got it sorted now. Mark all messages as read seems to actually mark all as read now. Before it was leaving 1 or 2 posts hanging around.

We any closer to sorting this issue??

With only 6 posts displayed as "ÜNREAD" im not really a fully active member. If i only have 6 posts do any new members?? If so, theyd probably get the impression that very little goes on and move away.
6 posts and none of the subjects really apply to me

There is definitely a problem with the way "UNREAD" works. I just registered a new test account and "UNREAD" showed no posts. Not good! I'll spend some time getting this sorted on the weekend. Thanks for highlighting it Gavin.

Is there any reason why it is not an issue with some members ?

Is anyone else having similar issues ?
