Forum likes to under- and over-update
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 1:33 pm
This may be my browser (IE), but I don't have these troubles on any other forums I visit. I am set to auto log in, which is working now. 
However, often when I look at one thread marked with new posts, then go back to see another thread, all the "new" markers are gone. I use backspace key usually, occasionally the back button. It doesn't always happen, it seems random. It's frustrating tho because unless I check all the time stamps, I can't know which posts are new.
Also, sometimes the opposite happens. I'll check out a thread, go back and the forum won't update that the threads I'm reading no longer have new-to-me posts in them. I refresh and still have the issue. It lasts a long time sometimes, even after leaving the forum and returning, it's just kinda stuck. It will update with more new threads, but won't erase the one's I've looked at.
I hope that all made a bit of sense. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a really easy solution (besides switching browsers)? Thanks!
