VaKo Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I think its trying to tell you something... but try removing all references to hak5.org from the password manager, its buggy as hell in firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazmac24 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 no, i use ie7 at home and ie6 at school. it happens when hak5 forums opens up in a new window. when i go to an already used windows and tab it in ie7, then that's when it works...

mazmac24 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 well, i mean that when i actually get logged into the forums, all the posts are marked read. none are marked new that were marked new b4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've seen that happen aswell. That 'remember me' checkbox should help here. But other than that it's a forum thing, not a browser thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudobreed Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I use Firefox 2.0 on two different machines and Opera on my Blackberry and get the same issue. I know when it is going to happen when I have to log in twice. The first time I log in, it redirects to the root of the forum however Im not logged in. Once I log in again, everything is marked as if I have read it. The only way I know of fixing it is to close Firefox completely (Which deletes the cache/cookies/etc) or Ctrl+Shift+Del then come back to the forum.

VaKo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I think there might be issues with the forum itself, however it never seems to effect everyone at once. What I would try doing is deleting your cache, cookies and any stored passwords. Then set it up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 its an issue with the forum software, i have found that if i login by clicking on post new topic then it doesnt affect me at all (I have this problem on another forum if i dont login that way, and i have found that seems to be the only thing that stops it from happening) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I found what makes it happen on my system after it happened quite a few times; If you are logged on here then you open a second window with Hak5 forums in you're fine... However, if you the close the second window it clears your unread posts. So if I have Hak5 forums open and I'm reading a thread then someone pastes a link to a topic in mIRC it will open a second Hak5 window. I can continue browsing as normal. If I then close the browser window that mIRC spawned it will mark everything as 'read' in the first window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
