I've been experiencing a weird problem with the forum for a while now. Normally, the forums with new posts are displayed in a different color and the threads with new posts are displayed in bold. But quite often lately, it all clears as though I've looked at everything and I can't tell which posts/threads I've looked at. I've stumbled across threads that were a week old that displayed as if I'd looked at them, but I hadn't even seen them yet.

Is this happening to anyone else, or is it me? I'm using Firefox, but I'm not experiencing any other issues I'm aware of.

I have no answer, however I have experienced similar things. If you use another computer and check in then you don't know what you read and when after you go back to your "regular" computer. :eek:

I've had some similar issues, but haven't noted exactly how and when the changes happen. I know that if I have multiple windows open in a single browser and leave not signing out of CSC, updated/new replaies aren't indicated. By the way, I use VISTA series of windows and don't remember opening multipule windows/tabs in a single browser in past wersions of windows, though I could open multiple browser sessions.

I will be watching more closeley and note what I find.

when they switched over the site i couldnt log in with my old acct (Basswacker) so i had to create a new acct.

Thanks for the replies. I've set my login so I'm logged out each time I leave the site. I'll see how that works.

Well here is what happened today...open CSC clicked on one forum and read a post and posted a new topic. Went back to the main menu, and thought of something I needed to find on the web. Opened a new browser window (using firefox) and did my searching there. Went back to CSC( other window) and everything showed up as being read???

So if anyone has an answer please let us know.

I think this is the result of the new host for the site. It changed immediately after the switch.

Certainly seems to have.

Maybe you're right Ken.....we should water board "Trayder" and get to the bottom of this!!! He's holding something back!

I thought the previous server and design was more old timey and right for the site. Now it just looks like thespurioustruth.

Just my old Yankee blood getting warm.

That's pretty much what I've experienced. I wonder if it's the site, or a bug in Firefox. Maybe I'll switch to another browser and see if it repeats.

I've seen similar behavior. It seems there is a time element as well as whether or not you sign out of CSC. I have left a post up and opened another tab in the same browser later to CSC and there is an indication I have read a thread, but if I go back to the original tab and go back to general discussions, there will not be an indication that there are new posts in threads that I know have had new posts made.
