when a user posts in a thread and returns to the post index it shows the thread they just posted in as having new posts. if someone posts in a thread they are the last person in that thread so it shouldn't show as being new.

is there a way to fix this?

it depend if your vB is old version, but if you have an 3.5 and higher, you have a setting in :

>> Admincp >> vBulletin Options >>+Server Settings and Optimization Options >> Update Thread Views Immediately

who's online number is set by this option:

>> Admincp >> vBulletin Options >> Cookies and HTTP Header Options >> Session Timeout

the smaller the size, the quicker updated...
