Depending on how the code is written, you might need to refresh the forum page before using that link.

I've been following this thread, but the reason I haven't really had much to comment is simply that the whole marking as read and new posts since last visit features are standard vBulletin, which haven't been touched by myself at all. I'm not sure how much investigation I can do.

I'd suggest looking at what time-value is used to designate when posts are read vs. unread and when that time-value is set and reset. If I don't explicitly log off, is the value set at other times regardless of my on-line or even on-site status?

I'll snoop around.

My understanding is that if you don't explicitly log off, the system will auto log you off after 20 minutes of inactivity.

What did you expect? DST itself is a kludge.

Maybe they broke something themselves...

Anything yet? Is there more information I can get you?

Do you need me to let you know when I leave the site and stay away for half a day at least so you can look at my dates & times and compare when new posts come in?

Do we need to connect offline so I don't change time settings by logging in to help track this down?

Over 2 months (close to 3 actually) and still going wrong. Can we try to figure out what's different about my account that causes "first unread" to be "last posted" please? Dani, I know you mentioned something about waiting until the new VBulletin goes in, but that was over a month ago.

Please????

What you need to do is refresh the page the "first unread post" link is on before selecting the link.

Also check to see if you have cookies disabled.
