    Sorry to bitch and moan but the icons that tell you where new post are since last visit are crap!!!! I just can’t get the hang of them, ok I maybe thick and if I am being so then just slap me with a kipper!!!
    It’s just that sometimes they tell me there’s a new post and then other times it say’s that all the topics have new posts (which clearly they do not)!!!

    Very confused!!![:o)]

    We slap with trouts here mate!
    I may be wrong…….not great at understanding how these things work but think it has something to do with ‘cookies’.
    I dont have any problems myself so must be doing something right![:p]

    same problem m8, sometimes it works, sometimes it shows all new – never alter any settings and the problem comes and goes….

    I just got used to looking at the dates, as I had problems logging in for ages due to cookies or something. Sorted now and no probs. Overall a good site and I like the shuffle in the order of topics/headings.

    When it happens, can you guys tell me

    a) If your system clock is correct
    b) At the top right of your screen does it say “logged in as abc” (where abc is your username)
    c) What browser you are using

    It is definitely a cookie related problem, so you might want to add this site to your trusted ones to see if that makes a difference.

    clocks always right, always logged in, ie6 causes problems, even with security set to always accept cookies!

    another thing that sometimes happens, is if theres a few new message (purple) icons displayed and you post a reply, they all disappear whether they are read or not, again like radar i just look for the date and time now….

    The icons will change colour when you revisit the main page and your cookie says you’ve seen it before, it presumes you have read the new posts. I personally open all (purple) new messages in a background tabbed window (Firefox, Opera etc) but I know that this is not a fix and it would consume resources in IE.

    Sometimes IE can be set to store a cached copy of pages, this mucks up many forum settings
