PoyBoy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Im wondering if im not alone here: Every so often all boards are marked read for me. This is incredibly annoying. I tried Opera and Firefox, and am starting to be royally pissed off. Is this a known problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah, noticed that to. Used to be able to keep track of things via the stars. Now for the last week i keep being logged out, everything marked as read etc.. Firefox 1.5 (+ latest updates) and no extensions messing with anything.

PoyBoy Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Same here. I have video downloader extenion installed, and even opera does the same thing. I cant keep track of anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm not having any problems (that arn't been caused by my own stupid self). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah that was happening to me as well, im using ff with no plugin's, but its seemed to of fixed its self now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Been happening to me in IE6 for quite a while but it's getting much much rarer these days.... it happened yesterday actually... I mentioned it but I think I got "use a real browser"... looks like the FF folk have it too now though... :/ Note: Dunno about Firefox but it seems to happen if you've got the forums open in 1 IE window and then click a link on IRC or whatever that leads to somewhere else on the forums... E.g. I'm looking at a post in Everything Else then someone gives me a link to a post in Polls... I click the link and now every post is marked as read in both windows...

cooper Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I actually fear that this might have more to do with Dreamhost flaking out a bit over the last few days. Personally, I don't see this. When the stars start to act up, it typically means I've been running my browser for too long, and need to restart it. About once every 2 weeks or so.

Guest Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 i would of thought it was the host, but i notice when it starts to happen to me it isnt just the one forum it effects, its every forum i use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I figured it was something to do with cookies or something... I could be wrong though... I've heard people say that when their browser has been open too long it happens but I get it and I shut down at the end of each night and sometimes a few times during the night too...

Guest Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 yeha i would say it has something to do with the cookies. It cant be keeping the browser open for to long, as i shut mine down everynight as well and that doesnt fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I havent experienced any problems. I reboot every night and am using the latest version of FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrytone Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I haven't noticed it here, but it happens every now and again on a forum I do techie stuff for. The problem was the phpBB sessions table. We had problems with it filling up and producing an error. The official solution (one of them at least) was a bit of code that wipes the older sessions from the table every now and again. You guys have anything like that in place?

armadaender Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 This has been reoccuring for me lately so I figured I would ask if anyone has had the same problem. Everytime I open the forum page, I'm logged out, but I have it set to remember me. And this is even when I close the page, walk away fro 5 minutes, and come back. Never did that before about a week ago. Secondly, everytime I log in, I don't have any stories marked at 'unread'. Even though I know that there are a few. I'm not complaining but just wanted to notify the head's of this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm wondering if its a firefox issue. Happens to sites like digg as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm wondering if its a firefox issue. Happens to sites like digg as well. I havn't experienced any problems with digg remembering my name using FF. But just like the forum, it could just be treaking out on a user to user basis, not for everyone.
