View new posts

Has there been something wrong with the "view new posts" link over the last few days? I ask because sometimes there are very few or no posts listed, even if I have just made some myself.

How is it many to work, anyway, are there cookies tracking what I've read? Or is it time based?

I haven't looked at the internals which a microscope but what I've seen and deduced is that it is a combination of cookies and timestamps. This forum software definitely works better when cookies are enabled. We have definitely determined that.

View New Posts has worked fine for me. You may notice some strange things when I give the server a time hack today.

Thanks for the info.

I'll have to check if I have cookies enabled at home and at work. here at home, it does seem to be working at present.

Are you logging out in between visits? Logging out clears the cookies.

No, seems to be working OK now though.
