New Post Icon - Feed The Geeks

cheater · #1 (**permalink**) 04-19-2007, 12:53 AM

On the main page, the icon next to the board name is only meant to be in color when there are new posts. The color used to go away after I replied/viewed the new posts. Now, the only way it goes away is if I Mark all Posts as Read for the entire board (link at the bottom of the main forum page). Do you have any idea if the problem is on my end or with the board itself? Thanks.

I have the problem. Refreshing doesn't even work. I have to leave the forum completely to clear it. It'd be nice if the new posts icons was darker or something.

Yeah i think that is just VB problem. It doesn't pick up the read threads very well.

I will have a look around and see if i can find a fix for it.

Thanks a lot Robert. For now, it is no problem (I can just click the link). But one we get more members, it will get harder (People posting while trying to hit the link).

I think it should be fixed now.

I found a setting that will refresh the status straight away. It puts a lot more load on the server. Thats fine for now but when we get more members i may have to turn it back off.

Will see how it goes.

So far it isn't working. Even after I reply to the thread, the icon still shows that there are new posts.

Crap, I thought I had it fixed.

I will keep working on it.

Oh well. It's not like it is that big of a deal. I just mark all the posts as read after I go through them. Then, the icon will alert me when there is a new post. Just one extra step than normal (clicking the link).
