New post icon

[prr]

Previosly new messages icon meant new messages since last read. Now it means smth else...
Should it be this way?

[impact]

What? The new message icon still means that there are new messages that you haven't read since last visit... it's the yellow arrow on a blue pad.

Unfortuately for me the icons do not depend on my last visit/read.
The threads are marked to contain new posts even if they shouldn't

it makes a difference whether you're logged in or not ...

Do I understand correctly -- to see new messages icon correctly, I have to log out and then on again?
But it is so inconvenient, 'cause I don't like to log in and out every time I check the board. Also I haven't met any log-in screen elsewhere than before message post

What am I missing?

how could the board distinguish between all "not logged in" users if you have an option to disable cookies ?

Once you're logged in, everything should be like you set it up in your User CP

First of all, I never come to the forum via forums.murc.ws, but via MURC homepage, that has direct links to forums. So I do not meet the first page, that seems to be the only one that has log in/out functionality.

From user preferences I choosed automatic log on and I have cookies enabled. But when I come back, the messages I read are still "new".

How can I set up automatic log in/out?

RTFM, I'd say ...

Maggi,

As I sayd, I have the automatic log in enabled.
Whenever I come to board I am logged in.
Just the new mail thingie does not work!

I have already read all the FMs I found

Let's make it simple:
I open browser and forums main page. I see "welcome back, prr".
I choose view new posts (get number of them).
I close browser and reopen it at forums main page. I choose again new posts. Should see none or few ones created during these few seconds. But I see everything I saw previously.
What am I doing wrong?

If I manually log out and back in, everything works.

From all that it seems that some cookies, that should expire on browser close, simply do not.

[Maggi]

oh ... ok, no clue what's going wrong then ...

Sorry, Maggi, but I didn´t understand.

[Maggi]

LOL ... sorry, what I meant was that you dared calling my a buddy after deliviring me to a jail, where obviously my avatar picture was taken ...

clear now ?

[Alec]

Yes, I understood it later on, but I waited for you to post a reply just to make sure...

...and also, to deliver (from the noun DELIVERANCE) means to free somebody, paradoxically...
