"View first unread" doesn't seem to be working - Scifi-Meshes.com

Professor Moriarty · 06-22-2006, 04:44 AM

Hello,

I have noticed in the past couple of days that none of the "View first unread" links are working for me. Whenever I click on such a link, I'm taken to the first post on the first page, as though I haven't read anything in the thread at all (which is not the case). This is a bit of an annoyance since I'm following several threads right now and I have to keep hitting the "Last Page" link and scroll backwards until I see a familiar-looking post, and then I can start reading the thread.

Is the information on what you've read in a thread stored as cookies on my computer, or is it something that is stored centrally on the scifi-meshes.com server? I'm only asking b/c if it's workstation cookies I need to know so that I don't accidentally blow away my thread reading history in the future.

t.y.

Duhhhh.... okay, never mind. I did some digging and discovered that it is a cookie issue. Logging out (which cleared the cookies SFM leaves on my workstation) and logging back in solved the problem.

Thanks Prof, I was having the same problem.

**Tallguy** · 06-23-2006, 03:25 PM

Still having issues.

I've logged out, killed all my cookies, but weird stuff is still happening. The "newest post" will reset after I log back in, but then it stays stuck there. i.e. if newest post is #325, it will ALWAYS be #325.

Ditto for me on this problem...I've done the same things Tallguy has done and am having the same problem...very annoying

Same here, logged out at work and at home, but nothing seems to cure it.

CrimsonLine · 07-03-2006, 09:49 PM

Me, too. Same problem, for several days now.

**B.J.** · 07-11-2006, 07:27 PM

Anything new on this? I'm still having this problem, even after logging out, clearing cache, etc.
