Forum Threads not always highlighted? - The Firearms Forum

Zane71464 · 09-09-2010, 06:48 AM

Got a question here, sometimes I overlook alot of posts because usually
anytime I log on, any unread posts/threads are highlighted.
And other times, none are?

Is it something to do with "my computer's" cookies?
Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated!

I cant figure it, I dont wipe off my cookies on my pc.
But I sure over look alot of posts due to the fact?

Zane, there has been some tweaking and fine-tuning going on in the forum control panel that may have temporarily affected the cookie time-out. If you continue to have problems, try deleting your cookies and then logging back in.

Ahh, okay.
The "time-out" makes sence now. It doesnt happen all the time, but seems like if I log out abruptly, it mess's with it.
Thank you SMoss!

I have this problem all the time. Some forums work and some dont. I guess I gotta figure how to unload my cookies?

If you view a forum and then go to another forum and come back, if no new posts have been made in that forum it wont be highlighted. But if there has been new posts you havent read, it should be highlighted. Hope that helps.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious here - but as soon as I load the TFF site, I click on New Posts at the upper center of the page, and it shows all the new posts in all forums since I was last here. That way I don't have to go into the individual forums ~
