    Default Messages marked as read new

    I often have the problem that after reading a thread and returning to the forum, all messages are marked as old. Now this is quite annoying in itself, but now it seems like all messages in the last month or so are marked as new


    Weirdness...

    EDIT: you can forget about the 'read' part of the title

    So have I. It's rather annoying, I have to go through all the last post dates to see if I have read it or not.

    I thought it was my cookies that suffered from a disease, but luckily that wasn`t the case.

    Question Re: Messages marked as read new

    I spent the last 10 minutes logging in, logging out, deleting my cookies etc. before I saw this thread.

    This seems to be affecting a number of people (at least) Does anyone have an idea what could be causing it?

    Same here... I would say it is some sort of database cleanup/update...

    Just chipping in to say it's doing it here too.

    One of the new methods are used now, it's no longer tracked by cookies.

    The new methods cause a performance hit on the server, as I have no idea how much, the least intensive one is used now. This causes the glitch you are facing now.

    There is an easy way for each user to fix this glitch, but each user has to do it him/herself. Read the new topics in a forum and then use threadtools in a forum to mark a forum read.

    It's also possible to use quick links to mark all forums read.
