Forum stuck on Mark as Read

I was having trouble with my New Posts about a month ago when a lot of other people were having the same problem.

The problem was being reported to admin but my problem wasn't resolved until I contacted admin.

Open a support ticket if you haven't already. It took about a week for my issue to get resolved.

actually I have a VERY robust system with all sort of security...and yes I know all about CC cleaner...that is not the problem. There has been a change, update or something on the site's forum software or the site itself. I have NEVER had this issue in the past until a few days ago and I know quite a bit about computers and websites (just sayin). Something changed or was upgraded and now apparently Firefox (Sirscrapalot) AND Chrome (myself and others) is at least affected.

Definitely something the admin needs to look into. I can get to the new threads, but you go to the weird screen and it has a link to look at thread that have been updated in the last 24 hours. So yeah, I can MAKE it work, but it is a PITA.

< shrugs > The CCleaner was just a suggestion. I use it to clean out the cache EVERY time I close the browser which might be five or ten times a day. (Only takes a few seconds.)

What you guys are running into may well be a forum thing or a combination of things. Could partially be a windows thing. Windows 10 seems to be especially difficult to work with. Doesn't seem to matter which browser you're using, the windows browser processes are still running in the background logging data on how you're using your machine.

To give you some idea .... I gave a win 7 machine that had been upgraded to win 10 a tune up last week. It was a 600 gb hard drive. I pared down the used space on the drive from 260GB down to about 22 GB. Most of the junk that was cleared out was the record keeping that the windows system routinely does.

Now ... I get that some guys like to hoard their junk but ?????

See I didn't know others had this issue when I posted. As I couldn't see past posts. Haha. I suppose I could have done support but alas...I decided to go public. Look at how it brought us all together to share our ideas, an thoughts...and...err..nevermind.




Sirscrapalot - If you feeling froggy....leap.

Last 48 hours I am having the same problem as Post 1 >>
I seem to be having an issue every time I come to the site, nothing shows in new posts, or group posts for me.

I have tried rebooting and that did not seem to help

Thanks for any help

Hello
I will definitely have a look into that issue. Have you tried clearing you cookies? Also what browser are you using?

Same thing happens for me no matter which browser I'm using.

The problem is related to when a mod deletes a post something screws up the forum data base.

Hmmm , I was not really paying attention or maybe I don't seem to have this problem. I log out when I leave the site. Am using latest version of Chrome. I also log in on multiple different computers almost daily. I also zap my history on a regular basis.
I'll pay more attention now . When I click on New Posts they are usually bolded until I read them.

[Kalvlin]

Ok , I logged out and then back in again to SMF. I had not read all of the latest posts. Now when I click on new posts there is nothing showing at all as if there are no new posts. Strange, time for a drink...

Been that way for me off and on for the last 2 weeks

Be sure and open a ticket at the SMF Support Center.

I have a support ticket submitted for the new posts not refreshing ( hence why I have been posting so little on the main forum ) lately I have noticed my search results are not working as well . Anyone else having this problem ? If not post a link to any threads related to screen boards . Hope it's back to normal soon .

[auminer]

This seems to be happening alot more lately... but I was always able to at least search for threads updated "today".

Now, when I click that, I get this irritating screen no matter how long I wait.

Does this forum even have an admin anymore?

The Maytag man don't work here. Did you open a support ticket yet?

YEP. Not expecting any better response to this one than the first two got. But I thought I'd give it a try. Seems to be working fine on my phone, and I do believe that my ragtag old computer is just about to give up the ghost.

I SOOOOOOOOOOO don't want to get a different computer.

Not sure what a "pop" is but since I've been relocated to the mid-west I no longer have to be ashamed of having the Titans as my home team. Sorry Mike.

Yes I've been to the football thread and someone mentioned a 12 deep league? I'm totally ignorant when it comes to fantasy football, but that sounds a little dirty. Is that where the fantasy part comes in?

You are right about those pink, blue and yellow packets. There is no substitute for sugar.

A "pop" is a coke, whatever kind you like.

[t00nces2]

... also, witched from firefox to IE and now have threads in the "New Posts".
