Read/Unread timer resetting c. 5 minutes into a session

Oh no! The timer went out again. All the Unread threads just got marked Read. Oh well. :frowning:

Same here.

The fix was worth a shot. Maybe once they tweak the system, this will still go away. At least the hallucinogenic phenomena of recent days have ended.

No problems since the board went back up again for me. Ah, is not it great for the board to be actually working again!

Zapped again. All threads marked as Read upon log-in. Nothing listed under New Posts.

For people that are seeing that issue again…does refreshing the thread help at all? In the worst of the Bad Times there were some odd caching issues. I don’t suspect this is related, but it would be a good data point.

Also, we should come up with a name for said times.

It was fine for weeks, and then today again. What am I doing or not doing that is causing this to happen? Or, whom do I speak sternly to?

As I mentioned in another thread, it seems to come and go in clusters. Fine for a while, then unfine several times in a row. Today I had a handful of threads marked Read amid all the Unreads. Odd.

But the main culprit seems to be some sort of hiccup upon log-in. Check your Last Visited time at the top, and it will actually give the time you just logged in.

This is getting really old. I’m sick of coming here and seeing all threads read because the board thinks I last logged in five minutes (or one hour) ago when I haven’t visited for 12 hours. I’ve used a lot of vBulletin boards and none has had this issue.

I was actually going to bump this thread…happened to me this evening (around 6:20 est) for the first time in ages.

I think the hamsters are low on brains.

I hadn’t experienced this particular irritation until recently but it’s happened three times in the past week - the first time the board claimed I’d been here when our whole internet was down.

It’s been working well for me lately, but today I saw a couple of threads out of about 20 marked Read upon logging in. Just those and not all of them.

Yup, I started a new thread about this happening to me earlier in the week.

Okay, just hit me again, first time in a long time. All threads marked as Read. Zombies in the machine maybe?
