"New Posts" missing (sometimes)

[WhiteD3]

Hiya,

I check the forum often and always use the "new posts" button. This has always worked flawlessly but in the last few weeks I've noticed that I'm missing a lot of new posts.

Not all the time, not consistently.

Not sure if the problem is mine and I'm not sure if this is the issue, but I have 3 PCs with AULRO as the home page. My work laptop, my home PC and my log-on in the kids PC. I'm sure the Mrs and kids aren't checking for new posts!

I have noticed this as well - it does seem to be erratic, but some time after you have logged on it seems to decide that you've already seen these posts regardless of whether you have or not.

What I have found works is to always click on new posts as soon as I log on, and if there is more than one page, open all the pages in order, and start reading from the oldest. This keeps the posts, although if you spend a lot of time reading and replying, you are likely to find when you go back to the first pages you went to using the back button, it is now labelled something like "There are no new posts, but these threads have posts you haven't read." They are the same threads as were in the original lists.

It is a bit of a pain, but you can work round it. Simon's suggestion is another way of doing it, or go to the forum listing and you can get all the threads and just go back to the last one you saw, one forum at a time. Which is the better way depends largely on how long since you looked at the threads - if it is more than a day, the day's postings don't help.

So maybe what's happening is the SWMBO and kids (she and them have no concept of the term "Turn off the appliance after use") are leaving the PCs on, logged on to AULRO all day........
