I can't say it's ever happened to me.

I will search the download database for SMF and see if I can find any reference to it. Maybe they have a patch for it.

Certainly a strange error. I have not had the issue since updating Firefox to 3.0.3.. Coincidence ?

Realistically, the browser should make no difference at all. But I have seen many strange things happen on different browsers viewing the same page! IE handles Javascript differently, and more slowly than the others, so this can cause it's own issues. Also, IE has it's own set of rules, and until recently (IE 8 beta onwards) didn't really follow the standards like the others do.

But, the "Show New Posts" link should be DataBase driven and not dependant on the browsers. All it needs to do is log the time you were on last, and then search for any new posts since then.

I'll logout now, and come back in IE 8 beta and see what happens...

OK, just tried it in IE 8 beta, and it does not bloody work!!! Yet in Firefox it works fine... even after logging back in on Firefox, I still can see any unread messages that I left there for the test!

My suggestion... USE FIREFOX!!! IE is crap anyway... and Firefox adherers to the standards. Plus, it's a much safer and faster browser.

I am using IE7 and the 'Show unread posts since last visit' link is not working correctly, it shows some of the posts but there are alot of posts that I am missing out on. I have to go through each section to locate the posts I have missed  @.@

Creech is looking into it and we are hoping it is just a patch. Keep you all posted.

For example, your post did not show up in the 'Show unread posts since last visit' but shows up as a new post in the Non-Pinball Discussion section  #$#

Is anybody using other browsers having this problem?

ie: Safari, Opera, Chrome...

So far, it only seems to be IE related...

I noticed that the forum time was 1 hour behind real time so maybe that was having an effect on the posts to fetch from the server.

Anyway, try now and see if it makes a difference.

You can set the time difference in your "Profile"... and I did a test using both Firefox and IE...

Firefox works fine for me, IE did not.  #$#
