Posted December 23, 20177 yr I was used to seeing a number that alerted me to the new posts. It has now disappeared.
December 23, 20177 yr FPCH Admin I am getting ready to upgrade the site and addons aren't compatible. That feature will be back once the software upgrade is done. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 23, 20177 yr FPCH Admin The indicator should be working now. If it isn't let me know. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 24, 20177 yr Author I take that back. After I click on mark forums read, the number changes to a lower number but it never becomes zero. Also, I can't see to find an edit button I only have Report, Quote and Reply so I can't correct my above post. :help:
December 24, 20177 yr Author Here what I mean 17 new posts showing and yet it says I have no unread posts.
December 24, 20177 yr FPCH Admin You have to cluck on What's New and in the drop down menu, click on New Posts, Liz. That will reduce the post count. AS for the Edit button, I don't have one either. I've let Bob, our forum owner know.  ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
December 25, 20177 yr Author I did that and it went down from 19 to 18 but it won't go below 18. I repeated it just in case I had to do it 19 times to reduce by 1 each time. It didn't reduce it below 18
December 25, 20177 yr FPCH Staff I am having the same issue the number will not drop below 18. Even after doing Mark Forums Read. "Confucius could give answer to that... unfortunately Confucius not here at moment."
December 25, 20177 yr FPCH Admin I am not having a problem with the post count, once I read the new posts, the number drops to 0. I'm sure that Bob will fix any glitches with the new software. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~

December 25, 20177 yr FPCH Admin It is working for me. I have tested it a few times and it always zero's it out. Try logging off and back on. It could be a cookie issue. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 25, 20177 yr FPCH Admin Yes, my What's new is now up to 23 and I can't decrease it. You have to click on the New Posts in the drop down menu of What's New. Once you read the posts, the number will drop. See screenshots below.    ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
December 26, 20177 yr FPCH Admin The lock icon in faded white is for log in. I will see about fixing it. On my iPhone it is rendering correctly.I don't have an iPad any longer and didn't get to check it. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 26, 20177 yr Author Logged, keep trying to lower the number. Changed from blue to red then back to blue. When I got here today it was at 31. Here's what it is after I Marked forums read 2 or 3 times. Next step, trying a different browser.
December 26, 20177 yr Author Firefox doesn't show the menu items; I have to click to see them. I don't like the way FF renders this
December 26, 20177 yr Author I've tried Vivaldi and I'm now on Internet Explorer. Vivaldi and IE at least render better than FF ESR but all 4 browsers, no matter how many times I click to mark forums read refuse to drop below 25. I suspect the number will just keep increasing for me every day that I visit. It must be something in my profile since all 4 browsers show the same thing when I log in. (I have never used Vivaldi nor IE here).
December 26, 20177 yr FPCH Admin That is strange. I can't find any issues with it on the server end. Have you tried clearing the browser cache? Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 26, 20177 yr FPCH Admin I am not having any problems with it either but I think both Rusty and Liz are. ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~~~Robert McCloskey~~
December 26, 20177 yr FPCH Admin It has to be a currpt cookie or old jscript isn't flushed out of the cache. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 27, 20177 yr Author Yes. In fact since I don't use the other browsers and clean history of Vivaldi every time I close it, I suspect there is no browser cache. I've also shut odd uBlockOrigin and allowed everything in noscript. Neither made a difference. Today I was at 34 and marking all forums read lowered it to 30.
December 27, 20177 yr Author I disabled the theme I was using - no change. I checked cookies at two spots and they expire at the end of the session so when I log out, they should be gone. I've opened and closed my browser quite a few times and I've clear the browser cache - again. I'm now stuck at 34. And I suspect it will just keep increasing. If I mark forums read it lowers 1 or 2 but still higher than when I left.
December 27, 20177 yr FPCH Admin Did the domain change fix it? This is strange. I'm going to unistall it and reinstall to see if that helps. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
