Something wrong with read/unread posts

What do you want to see here? Some more categories, forums, and mods? Hmm...

Something wrong with read/unread posts

Post by ivantis »

I noticed this recently: I open firefox to look at something. My homepage is the forums. The forums home page loads up. I look and see a few red cycles, and think "Ima read that later." I do something else, close firefox, then I reopen it later to read them, and the cycles aren't red and I can't see what I haven't read.

That's normal. If you close and reopen Firefox, you start a new session. phpbb assumes you read everything you had a chance to read in your last session so it doesn't have to store who read what for all thread/user combinations.

I made my google start page my home page, and then when I upgraded to firefox 3 beta5 (forced upgrade from Kubuntu), it started opening up all previous tabs. I like that feature so much, who needs a home page?

i definitely hate that feature, i always end up with more than 50 tabs then
not to say how session cookies management gets buggy with it

that's why i always click quit when closing firefox :)
