Post Forum Bugs Here

[Angry_Games]

oops, this was one of those "hey I'm gonna optimize and backup the forums real quick" things that ended up taking 2 hours because I got to yakkin with Tmod and building momma's rig etc and then realized "hey the forums are still off!" and so I came over and started fooling with it again then wandered off yet again until I again realized "grrr $#@!$@# forums are still off" so then I wandered over again and finished it and almost forgot yet again to turn the darn forums back on booooo!

 

but

 

they are on now

After being away for some time, I had to check... and this problem still appears to me:

 

"Forum Tools" -> "Mark This Forum Read" don't work.

 

...when I click forum tools...I get 4 options....3 of those are orange and "marked as read" is black (second down)...I clicked it and didnt notice anything different....but then again I'm a dumbass

 

You should notice the threads that are highlighted as not read will then turn the same color as the rest that are not new threads.

 

Am I making any sense here?

Yes, but that don't happen to me when I click "Mark This Forum Read".

When I click the menu open and move the mouse cursor over selections, others (those ones which dr_bowtie referred) show url in browser status bar, but the one does not. It's like missing it's link/function, so when I click "Mark This Forum Read", it does nothing. It won't even make a "click" sound as it's supposed to to do here when link is clicked.

 

Doing "Right-click -> Properties" shows just a link to forum - For example, while in "Off topic & Introductions" properties of the menu shows url's like these (from top to bottom):

"Post a New Thread":

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=18

"Mark This Forum Read":

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=18

"Subscribe to This Forum":

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=18

"View Parent Forum":

http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=17

To ignorant person like me, it looks like the "Mark This Forum Read" has somehow lost it's functional part, when compared to #1 and #3. All other choices will show the same info in status bar as url properties of the menu selection, but for some reason #2 show nothing. In main page (Forum index page) the somewhat similar function "Mark Forums Read" of "Quick Links" works as it's supposed to do, so I pressume the "broken one should be seen like this...

...instead this?:

My browser is IE6 with all updates, if that tells something.

If only one (dr_bowtie) user has seen similar behaviour, perhaps there is something in my setup making this kind of feature presenting itself? Maybe some update to browser or the board software is to blame? I don't usually put sites easily to "trusted zone" because of ads, but I may be forced to try it, if all else fails...

 

Edit: Adding site to trusted zones had no effect, so I don't know is there anything I can do for this at this end.

I am sorry to say that once again I have checked it and it works fine for me.

 

The link is not the same color as the others but it does do it's job.

Weird. With (much) earlier version of forum that worked for me, too. By using "Quick Links" -> "Mark Forums Read" I may miss some posts... like your reply (this one) here at last visit, so it's not good alternative.

 

Perhaps it's a browser version issue... and linked with current position of stars? :confused:

 

Erm... somehow, when I wrote "In main page (Forum index page) the somewhat similar function "Mark Forums Read" of "Quick Links" works..." I did not realize that the "Quick Links" is available always - Not just in main page. :tooth:

When you select "Mark Forums Read" from the index page then it will mark all forums on this site as read.

 

If you select "Mark This Forum Read' then it will only mark the current forum you are on as read.

 

I hope I answered your concern to your satisfaction.

I find that "Mark This Forum Read" works fine for me, but if I view a topic, leave (not be pressing the back button), next time I visited it will be unread again even if there have been no changes :???:

I would like you to try something.

 

Find a thread that you have not read (Bold Title) and then go to the end of that thread and then leave and come back to it and tell me if it was marked as being read.

 

Hope I didn't confuse you with ramblings above.

[prosser13]

Yeah, that worked.

 

But it happened again just now :s

 

I went into the last page of one of the For Sale threads, came back just now and it still says Unread :s

Are you sure nobody posted in that For Sale thread?

 

I just tried it again and every time I go to the last page and then return the forum is marked as read.

It just did it again - I'll make a video if you want and you'll tell me the software?

Post a link to that thread that you are having problems with.
