There are two things that have been getting on my nerves lately.

1. Threads reappear in the "my evolutionm.net" folder under subscribed threads as if there has been a new post. When I check the thread, the last post is still the same. Why does this happen?

2. When I post on a thread, or even just read one, and then return to the home page, I check back to see how the thread developed. To do this, I usually hit go to first unread post. This rarely works correctly. Earlier today, a thread I was participating in had reached the 2nd page, (which I had posted on), however when I click on the "go to first unread post" button, it still took me to a certain spot on the first page every time. WTF is that about?

If anyone has a better explanation of how these processes work, maybe it will help me understand what's happening and how to prevent it

Thanks

 

The way the first unread post works is based on a cookie that says when you last viewed that thread. The script then calculates the next post and shows that. It must either goof on storing the right time or something like that.

We're getting set to upgrade to VB3 and hopefully this will be one of the things fixed in the process.

ok, that explains the second question.......any thoughts on the first one?.....thanks for clarifying Mark

 

Hmm, are the threads polls? If a person votes in a poll it can bump it up without a new post.

i didn't think of that, and i haven't really been paying attention to it either.....i'll check if it's a poll if it happens again though

thanks

 

No problem
