what hack was performed, i just got the email?

I have a problem with the "new post" icons. Sometimes when I read a new post in a thread, it still shows as "unread post" in my "all posts by". It would be easier to check for responses to threads if I could scan for the colored icons rather than visit each thread just to check it. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I missing something?

are you using firefox? (more speicficly tabed browsing in firefox? or IE 7 I'd assume)

yes. I have tried the links in both new tabs and in the same tab, but when I go back to "my posts" they still show as unread. Is there an "option" setting I'm missing. I'll try with IE and see if that does the trick and post back.

EDIT: same behaviour with IE. No one else has this problem?

Only happens to be when I browse with tabs, they still unread in the first tab that I view them, and I visit them in another tab, but if I go back in that new tab then they are marked as read.

I can't get the icons to change doing that either. I even changed my cookie settings to "allow siite to set cookies from other domains" but still no change.

I'll try with Opera and Netscape and post back.

EDIT:
Same with both Opera and Netscape. Just a thought, if these icon changes are tied in with cookies rather than a database, could my timezone settings in my CP options be involved? eg. if they're at EST but the cookies expire based on GMT.

ya maybe

I set my timezone to GMT. No difference. The only other thing that I can think of is that sometimes I post using my feed reader and sometimes with the browser. The feed reader is IE based (I think) and I use Firefox as my browser. But it still seems that if I read them and then go back to "all posts' the icon would change. I guess I'll have to be more consistant and see if that makes a difference.

Edit: still working on this, adding this edit in firefox to see if the icon will change to "read"

:d'oh: After puzzling over this for some time, I've finally noticed the icon descriptions. I have been mis-interpreting the "hot" icons as meaning "unread". I still don't know why they seemed to change back (at least I thought they did), unless that was something to do with using the feedreader? ???

We havent changed anything to my knowledge - congrats on the top5 graphic! nice job! in the future if you ever have any -problems- with the site or forums please feel free to either post here or goto
