I'll post this here as I don't know if this is a bug or just a figment of my imagination, but it seems that the forum pages are no longer hilighting new messages for me. I'm logged in ok. Anyone else experiencing this?

How does the page determine what new messages are available? If I visit a message via the suscribed email link, and visit that page only, do all other new massages lose that "new" quality when I go to the forums again?

It still does the job for me. However, if i leave the forum main page idle for too long (say 10 mins or longer), then suddenly all unread posts are marked as read! :confused: :skull:

I find it a bit annoying too. Maybe there is a setting that needs to be undone?

I have noticed a little weirdness from time to time, but nothing regular enough to recognize a pattern. Perhaps this is how :evolved: they :evolved: are watching us... :cyclops:

I'd assume that it uses a cookie that has info of when you've visited the site last time. And then based on that time it checks if there's any messages that have been posted after it. So it's 'new messages' not 'unread messages'.
