View Newest Post Borked?
When I click the view newest post button for a thread it is taking me to what was the newest post one or two days ago. Is anyone else getting this? I've only had it happen since getting a new PC with Win 7 if that matters.
Re: View Newest Post Borked?
I've had it pretty much since I signed up, on every PC I use. This bug shares some code with the one where you sign in one day and every thread in the entire board is marked read, since they both change state (mark as read, choose new newest post) at the same time.Draco_Argentum wrote:When I click the view newest post button for a thread it is taking me to what was the newest post one or two days ago.

phpBB2 does not use the same tracking method of vBulletin for new posts.
stock it jsut shows an indicator based on time you visited the forum last, after that and once you have a cookie or session ID it marks threads read based on the last time you viewed it
everything is in place to do it the other way, but not fully implemented since each post has a link to click on to move that post to the top of the page, and its icon to indicate it is a new post.
it requires a hack to fix or upgrading to phpBB3.
phpBB2 always had problems with post tracking, including logging in.
and the problem remains in storing such info in a cookie, rather than in the database itself.
just to let people know...it isnt just TGD, but ALL phpBB2 forums.
best thing to do...and i HATE saying this because of the improper use of cookies, but clear your TGD cookies and it should help a bit when you login and get a fresh cookie.

In my experience it is never a problem, except when I log out. If I always stay logged it, it's never an issue, but once a month or so, when it auto logs me out, or when changing computers, it's all fucked up on all the computers.

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
