Unread messages flag

[Hookup]

Many messages are not clearing the read/unread messages flag when I use the 'mark all messages as read'.  If I go to the individual message it clears the flag.

As of yet I have not seen any pattern in which messages are getting "stuck" and which ones are not.  It does appear that once a thread is in this state it doesn't stop.

here is one thread that has been stuck for a while: http://ovas.ca/index.php?topic=44682.0;topicseen

Are you sure?  That thread has had 12 replies today.  Is it possible someone replies after you mark as read... and it's unread again?

technically it's possible... but it's happening to 8 or 9 threads and the "test" is simple.  Click "mark all as read", then click "show unread posts since last visit" and you get the same list... repeat as often or as fast as you want, it's always there...

It could be in the code.  The Mark all read button clears the page so it clears the ones you dont feel the need to read.  Now possibly the check unread button will actually pull any post that your IP hasnt physically went too.

Its just a guess, but would make sence.

If I understand you they are just not clearing when you press 'Mark All Messages As Read' that they remain listed? If so this is sort of a glicth with this software. If there is more than one screen full of unread messages and you are on say the 2nd page of messages clicking that link they will all clear. If there is just one page of unread messages try checking the box beside 'Last Post' then click 'Mark Selected Read' that should clear the list. I've always found teh other way it would clear them for me either.

I have found this as glitch in this software and not just on this website. Maybe I am missing what your issue really is though.

Could be with your browser and cookies?  I use Chrome and have not come across this issue.

Prior to my account being banned by the executive, the functionality was clear and working.  Click "Mark all as read" then click "Show unread posts since last visit." would clear all of the messages from the un-read queue.  After the ban was lifted this "glitch" started to occur.

I dont think it has to do with the ban

I have this same behavior consistently.
I select the Mark all as read... and click the read new...and all the same post are re-displayed.
If i select the "Select All Post" check mark and chose "Mark selected read" it clears the list.

[Hookup]

That works!  Thank you.

[twisty]

regardless of the workaround... this issue should be resolved.

I would say if they created the board then it would be easier to fix, but since if I am not mistaken its a SMF done board, have fun sorting through code!

Maybe check their Bug List.

Part of the website upgrade is to use the most recent version of SMF - we are currently a few versions behind.

Which will most likely help / fix the problem

Good news!!!  Keep up the good work!

[Hookup]

This is still an issue.

Never knew there was an unread message board. 

Brought up my unreads, clicked on Mark all as read, instant erasure.  Clicked on unreads again and the page was blank.  Is this how it's supposed to work?

[Hookup]

Yes, that is how it should work... Just it doesn't work for me... Several always left as unread...
