Experiencing some browser issues when viewing this forum.
Previously, the new posts will remain as new until I open them, as from yesterday, once logged in, I see the new posts and if I exit (without viewing), next time round all appears as viewed.
I have checked the cookie settings and all is allowed.
Have also included digitalgrapevine.info to always be allowed but this doesn't seem to do the trick.
Any help will be appreciated cos keeping track of new posts will a little tricky without this.

P.S You can try your view and see if this applies.

I get that with quite a few forums using this particular bulletin board software.

It is frustrating. Especially if you close the browser by accident!

Called in our office's tech support today and they also did try to open the gates (unblocking firewalls etc etc) for me and see if I could utilise the auto login and this failed as well. I hope it is a small glitch. my profile is not heavily used as far as the attachments go, Will hope it rectifies itself else will have to find a way to track posts in here.

I, along with two colleagues, have been monitoring this issue throughout the day, but the New Posts and No New Posts icons appear to be behaving correctly. We have also made no recent changes to the forum configuration (only the upgrade to phpBB 2.0.11 on 22nd December 2004), so I cannot imagine what could be causing this behaviour.

Have you recently installed any applications or updates which could possibly affect your Internet connection? Have you noticed problems on any other forums or cookie-enabled websites?

Regards,

When I log into this Forum, I click to see any New Posts. If I leave before reading any of them, the next time I log in, the ones I did not read are no longer listed as New. That's the way it has always been on this new Forum. I thought this was the normal way this operates. If this isn't normal, then there's a problem.

Our old forum required you to go into each section to look for any new posts. This new system is much better! It would be nice to have a list of posts you hadn't read, which would stay that way, even if you didn't have time to read all the new posts, but I have learned to live with the current operation.

We have added a 'Watched Topics' mod to the forum which may assist with the problems you have been experiencing.

If you click the 'Watch this topic for replies' link at the bottom of any topic, this topic will be added to your own 'Watched Topics' list (which can be viewed using the new link at the top of the page).

This should hopefully make it easier to track topics in which you are interested.

Kind regards,
