Unusual!
« on: 9 Nov 2012, 11:05:07 »
I've come across a few posts now that I've read the previous day, but they show up as if it was something new :S. It's like Deja Vu, I read every post, everyday, but for the past couple of days I've been re-reading posts that aren't new?!

I'm not making any sense, even for myself ._.

Right here's a little story to try and help you.. For example, yesterday I was reading the thread, guides! I read every post there and then continued down the threads reading everything that was posted. Today I seen there were new posts in the guide section so I go to there again once I've read everything above it and then I recognize it from yesterday.

It seems like if you get to the post from the home "recent posts" it doesn't register that you already read it sometimes.

If you visit http://www.noobscraft.com/unread/ (Under the "Forum" tab: "All Unread New Posts") it lists all of the posts which have updated since you last viewed them.

I've used that feature lots of times, it's just lately I've been re-reading posts..

There are a few explanations for why this is happening:

  • If players edit the content of the latest post in a topic then on certain occasions the post may be re-added to your unread list.
  • If you ever view a topic and are not logged in, and then login; those posts you viewed when not logged in will not be marked as read on your logged in account.
  • If you don't view the most recent post in a topic then the whole topic won't appear to be read. For example if you only read the first page of a two page topic then it won't mark you as viewing the most recent post.
  • There are a bug.
