Unread problems

[cmr164]

Somehow in the last week or so the behavior of the http://www.dgrin.com/images/statusiconDefault/thread_dot_new.gif and the http://www.dgrin.com/images/statusiconDefault/forum_new.gif markings has changed. Before if I replied to a post the s/w was smart enough to know that I had already read my own words, but now the new post flags come on and I have to leave the forum (traversing up) and then go back and reread my own post for the s/w to turn it off. What was changed?

:nod I've noticed something change in New Posts in the last few days. Now it marks as unread, threads I've just read or have actually posted to. By mark as unread, I mean that the slug is still in bold. Conversely, again from the New Posts page, some threads that I haven't read have unbold slug lines.

I've been noticing this also. I just figured that I didn't have zone alarm setup right after my reinstall, and it was mucking up the flow of cookies.

I was just gonna post this. I usually navigate via my User CP, which now tells me there's new posts... um, after I just posted.
:scratch
What gives?

I would swear that I used to be able to reply to a a thread, submit my reply, hit the Back button on my browser twice, and I would be looking at the thread and my new post would be at the bottom of the page. My browser no longer does that. I think this change started about the same time I started having trouble with the read/unread stuff.

The back button should not do a refresh so if you had that behavior before it was a bug in your browser.

I thought that's what it did but I could be wrong :dunno

[DoctorIt]

regardless of browser, back button, whatever, there is definitely a dgrin issue. It just doesn't work like before. You can refresh after you've viewed a post, and it still shows as unread. Someone must have tipped over the cookie jar. :D

I'll have to investigate on vBulletin.com to see if anyone else is reporting this.

Hmmm.... Wonder if this happened when I upgraded vBulletin to the latest release? I'll have to investigate on vBulletin.com to see if anyone else is reporting this.are dgrin and advrider on the same release of vBulletin? because I don't have the problem over there.

[cletus]

woohoo
:clap:clap:clap:clap

[DoctorIt]

not for me it isn't. I just posted to a thread, then went to my CP and it still showed as unread.

Hey, you're right... Something is still funky :dunno

I just noticed threads and forums being marked as read more consistently than earlier today. But my posts still show up as unread and I saw a thread get marked as read when it shouldn't have.

Please disregard my previous post... I must have been high or something :scratch

[DoctorIt]

bump - still funky... any progress on this?

[Baldy]

bump - still funky... any progress on this?Strange that ADVrider and dgrin use the same software, except dgrin's is a few dot releases more up-to-date, but dgrin is much slower even though it's much smaller.

I am going to do some maintenance on it tonight and see what shakes.

[Baldy]

are dgrin and advrider on the same release of vBulletin? because I don't have the problem over there.No, ADVrider is a few releases back. In fact it's 3.0 beta release candidate 4, which is a long way back. But it's working and very difficult to upgrade because it's so big, so I haven't messed with a good thing.

Last night I rebuilt dgrin's indexes, optimized tables, etc. I hope it's faster now and stays that way.

[DoctorIt]

baldy, i hate to say it, as you are the man for doing this, but i don't think its fixed. just checked - posted to a thread, then clicked to user cp, and it showed as unread.

i haven't had any speed problems though, just that pesky unread thing. Am i the only one whining about this or experiencing it??? if so, please ignore me.

thanks again bald one!!! :thumb

It is real and it is a PITA although not yet a PITA. I also noticed that the unread flag behavior in sticky threads has some special weirdnesses also. I have seen the flags turn off on several sticky threads just by reading one. And the flags inside the threads do not turn off for hours or a day after reading.

The speed problem seems to be fixed.

[DoctorIt]

just wanted to give this a little bump...

oh, and i think speed problems may be back? I haven't had time to surf both dgrin and advrider at the same time in quite a while, so this may not be a good indicator... but right now, i'm posting twice on advrider to one on dgrin.

Hey, vBulletin vs PHBB? I am getting ready to start 4 different boards and out of $$ sake was curious why I should use vBulletin when PHBB is available? These are all for profit ventures and I am looking for a lot of hierracrchial functionailty, persmission-based control settings, etc. I have researched and both seem to act like they are the way to go. Any help is greatly appreciated! :thumb

I am glad this thread is here, I have been having problems with this for weeks, but thought I was the only one. I am constantly missing threads because it is marking threads as read that I haven't seen, and not marking threads as read even though I have read them, refreshed and backed up, and refreshed, and refrehed again. The later I come back and there is a new post to it and it is marked as read.


It has gotten to where I have to look at the times things are posted and look at anything with a newer date than my last visit. I miss stuff all of the time.

Onethumb has been working on the speed of drin tonight. Feel better now?

I waited to respond. Yes, it does feel faster. Thanks thumbsup, it had slowly been becoming more frustrating. Maybe you can work your magic on ADV.

Just wanted to mention that this is still badly broken.
