Click here? Click where?

If there are no "new" posts, it says something like "to view threads from the last 24 hours click here."

Then I see the posts in chronological order.

Right now I have 8 posts to choose from when I click new posts. The heading reads:

The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts. which is what I used to see under posts that came after "new" posts. And in this case, those threads have been updated since my last visit because they are the new posts.

Ugh, wish I could screen shot.

Sounds like a cookie problem.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 01:56 PM

I just checked cookie settings on my computer. It's set to "medium" and I haven't changed anything.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2009, 02:03 PM

I think that "to view threads from the last 24 hours click here" line is what you get when you're not logged in. That makes me suspect a cookie problem?

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 02:04 PM

It's weird. I noticed it yesterday at my work computer too.

Undertoad · 02-21-2009, 02:41 PM

I'm sure it's a cookie thing. That's what you get when you're logged out, too.

classicman · 02-21-2009, 03:15 PM

....or there are no new posts to view. I think it defaults to
"To view threads from the last 24 hours click here."

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 03:37 PM

But what I'm saying is that it didn't USED to...for me.

No big deal...just wondered what had changed.

Maybe you need to put the cookies on a higher rack and rotate the cookie sheet when they are halfway done.
You could try that.

Shawnee123 · 02-21-2009, 03:43 PM

Rotate this cookie sheet!

Too much salt in your cookies.
I understand.
So does Limey.

Why is this? Because of the shape of the element or because its colder near the door?

What did it used to say, when you had already read everything new and you clicked on "New Posts?"

Oh, wait, I think I understand. You used to have a whole bunch of other threads listed that were older, that had not been updated since your last login but "still contained unread posts," right? But you never read those, you just left them down there in the list, right? After awhile, they get too old, the system just automatically marks them as "read."

And I think the colors have changed, particularly in the left column where the user information is, and in quote boxes. I'm using The Cellar vBulletin 3 Style.
