Change in the forum software?

[plodr]

I was used to seeing a number that alerted me to the new posts. It has now disappeared.

[AWS]

I am getting ready to upgrade the site and addons aren't compatible. That feature will be back once the software upgrade is done.

[AWS]

The indicator should be working now. If it isn't let me know.

[plodr]

Yes, it works.

[plodr]

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:

[plodr]

Here what I mean 17 new posts showing and yet it says I have no unread posts.

[allheart55 Cindy E]

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.

 

 

[plodr]

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

[Rustys]

I am having the same issue the number will not drop below 18. Even after doing Mark Forums Read.

[allheart55 Cindy E]

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.

[AWS]

Edit problem is fixed. Looking for problem with the read marker.

[plodr]

Yes, my What's new is now up to 23 and I can't decrease it.

[AWS]

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.

[allheart55 Cindy E]

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 can't find the log in button on my iPad running iOS 7

[AWS]

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.

[plodr]

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.

[plodr]

Firefox doesn't show the menu items; I have to click to see them. I don't like the way FF renders this

[plodr]

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).

[AWS]

That is strange. I can't find any issues with it on the server end.

 

Have you tried clearing the browser cache?

[allheart55 Cindy E]

I am not having any problems with it either but I think both Rusty and Liz are.

[AWS]

It has to be a currpt cookie or old jscript isn't flushed out of the cache.

[plodr]

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.

[plodr]

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.

[AWS]

Did the domain change fix it?

 

This is strange. I'm going to unistall it and reinstall to see if that helps.
