P4GTR Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Everyday when I get to this site, going from the homepage to the forum clears the "view new posts", which is what I use to browse active threads. Anyone else experiencing this? Figured out a way to stop it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 As I have said before, in a similar thread: This function is based on a cookie placed on your computer. It then uses the time-stamp in this cookie to calculate wich post have not been read since your last visit. If you start browsing the forum, it will place a new cookie/new timestamp on your computer and when you then click the "New posts" it will only show oyu the new posts since your last visit...wich was a couple of minutes ago. If this happens again, you can clikc the "View new posts" and then, at the bottom right corner, you can use the "View active topics" feature, that will give you all the active topics for today, this week, etc. That will give you an overview of the latest posts, depending on when you last visit was here.

phaedo Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Happened to me a couple of times, so I went and bookmarked the view new posts page. Works fine doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a glitch in the site. When I connect to RWG, I get the homepage and see "188 new posts" for example. No matter what I click on next, the new posts link resets to zero. I've tried a variety of work-arounds. I am going to try phaedo's suggestion and see how it go's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I get the same thing if I enter the site via www.rwg.cc I bookmarked the forum index now, and it no longer happens. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
