Weird forum glitch.

Post by invertin » Fri Apr 27, 2007 9:19 am

Sometimes it doesn't show whether I've read a post or not. It always shows every post as read, even if I havn't. whats going on?

Php-based forums are known to have bugs in that vein when you set it to automatically log you on every time you visit. When you don't, such bugs tend to be rare.

Every thread is marked as read when you log out or time out (Idle for too long)... Sad but true =(

Yeah, unlike other forums. PHPBB needs to turn this feature off!

Also, quitting your browser sets everything to show up as read, too. Very problematic if I accidentally press Cmd-Q!

Not entirely sure when pressing that isn't problematic, but, meh.

Now it's doing the opposite, I've read colicedus saying "it ain't spelled Nuk'em" 5 times now and still thinks I havn't.
