I seem to be getting some inconsistent results when I open and read a thread. When I return to the User CP or New Post sections, usually, each post is changed to indicate if there is new content or not. Obviously, if i use the "back arrow" to return to the list, the posts are not listed as being read, but when I return by clicking on "User CP" or "New Posts" then it "refreshes" or whatever and reflects accurately. That is all as I would expect.
My problem is that occasionally when I log out or close the window and then return a short time later, all of the posts seem to come back up as having not been read. On the items where I posted a reply, I can see my name has having the last post, but it reflects that I haven't read the latest post... When I click on the small arrow that directs me to the last "unread" post, it kicks back to where it did in the previous session, and my new post (which clearly would have been "read" by me) shows as not being read along with the others in the thread.
Any ideas what I'm doing incorrectly or what I can do to help avoid that? I haven't been able to put my finger on what causes it or repeat the behavior with any consistency... I have a few programs here at work that occasionally "take over" whatever window(s) I have open meaning that I would be leaving without "logging out"... Could that have something to do with it? Also, I currently have the option to "remember me" enabled... I also sometimes log into the site by going to the home page using a bookmark, sometimes by clicking on a link from an email stating that there is a new post...
I use firefox 3.0.3 almost exclusively to view the site... Thanks for any insight or ideas you may have...
