Got a strange one here
Gen soft updates
Once upon a time
Who is this
All seem to be stuck, when I click on new replies to my posts, they always show up, as far as I am aware I've only replied to these topic's once, several months ago, and clicked off the notify many times to try and get rid, to no effect.
Just a minor thing, I know, but annoying, can someone fix it please. :fingers:
This can happen for a number of reasons, Bob, eg someone modifies a post... Have you tried logging out of the forum and then back in, or clearing your cache?
Try clicking the Unread Posts link above 'New replies', Bob. Does the same happen? Also, once you've read all you want to, try clicking the 'Mark all messages read' link in the Unread Posts screen, and see if that helps.

And that
Even tried switching "notify on" and then "notify off" still no difference, strange it only happens on those three, its like a stuck flag or something.
It' been happening for months now, I spose I'm getting a bit irritated by it
Yes, I would be too! How about logging out, deleting the cookie, and allowing it to set a new one?

Ok done that. in fact I deleted all temp int files just in case, I'll have to wait untill somebody post's in on of those three to see if it worked :fingers:
Give me a second, and I'll post in Who Is This...

Sorry, still there :dunno:
Let me go and try something in the engine room...
Try now, Bob.
Need a post in one of the three to test Rik
You have one in Who's this... :)
Sorry Rik, this thread and who is this are the only ones that show up. ???
Those two should be showing up, surely? Or have I got the wrong end of this?
I've now switched off all notifications with the exception of this thread, see what happens :dunno:
This and 'who is' are the only two threads to be posted in for a while, Bob, so if they were showing up but nothing else, then things would appear to be working correctly.

Yes Rik, I've not posted in who is this and its never been switched on in notify, so it shouldn't show to me in new replies to my posts
This is odd. Let me look at that thread. All of the things which normally cure such issues we've tried. :shake:
It is very strange, it started with just "Who is this" and then suddenly the other two arrived :)
I've just looked through all your posts, Bob, and you mentioned this before, on August 20. You have posted in the threads which are causing you a problem, so I'd normally guess at a modified post after yours, but I can't see anything obvious.
We'll have a think.
What browser are you using, what AV and OS?

Do you ever use a second machine or a different browser, Bob?

I have a laptop and used it a couple of times running Vista but thats all.
Enjoy, Bob. :)
just a shot in the dark, but I wonder if it could be theme related? Just for elimination purposes, could you change to another theme, mark everything read, then change back again, Bob?
I'd wondered about theme, but Bob first reported the issue back in August. It'll do no harm to try a swap, though.
Bob, could you grab a screenshot of the problem, to make sure that we are thinking correctly about what you're seeing?
Screenshot as requested, as you will see I have not posted in either of these recently

Thanks for that, Bob. I'll set up a new account later, as none of us has any idea what might be causing this. :(
Note for lurkers:
Bob, formerly talos, has become talos again, while his original account has become talos2.
Ok thanks Rik, all up and running again :fingers:
