I'm confused about how the "NEW THREAD" thing works.

Ok, village idiot here:

 

In the top level of FORUMS, I see GENERAL DISCUSSION Then Destiny's post about "Where are they going?"

 

The GENERAL DISCUSSION is marked as having new posts.

 

Ok. I click on the "WHERE ARE THEY GOING" post and read it. Then I click on the link at the top to go back to the FORUMS part. I do NOT use the back button at the top of the browser.

 

I see GENERAL DISCUSSION still marked as NEW/UN-READ Posts. But it still shows the WHERE ARE THEY GOING as the latest/newest.

 

Errrr.... If I have just read it and there are posts in other parts of GENERAL DISCUSSION, then I would expect that topic to be listed at the top level, not the one I just read.

 

Does that make sense?

I have never used that feature but i suspect that if you left the site then returned it would not show up as a new post or thread. try leaving the site and then returning and see what happens.

Whilst on hassles, or whinges, I find all the News posts that come up when you go to New Posts a drawback but maybe its just me & I can live with it.

Dexter - they shouldn't come up if you use the "New Posts" link in the blue bar. Are you using a bookmark? If so, update it with this :-

Ah - never noticed that one. Ian must have forgotten to put the "exclude" bit on that link.

 

We're having a drink together tonight while he's in Canberra for the board meeting. I'll tell him how hopeless he is for you.
