Here, and on other forums, when I view a "new" thread and then go back to the threadlist, the new/hot/old thread icon changes to the "No New Posts".

But on my board the "New posts" icon remains! I can view the thread 20 times and force a refresh on the thread page and threadlist pages, but the icon stays at "New posts". :confused:

It only reverts to "No New Posts" when I leave the board and return 15 minutes later (that's what my cookie timeout is set to).

Why is it doing this? I looked through forumdisplay.php and it seems cosher:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($bbuserinfo[lastvisitdate]=='Never') {

        $thread[newoldhot]='new'.$thread[newoldhot];

      } elseif ($thread[lastpost]>$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]) {

        if (!isset($bbthreadview) or $bbthreadview[$thread[threadid]]<$thread[lastpost]) {

          $thread[newoldhot]='new'.$thread[newoldhot];

        }

          eval("\$thread[gotonew] = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_gotonew')."\";");

      }

i believe the cookie is forum wide so hence you need to wait 15 mins

Thanks for the response, Eva.

My problem is not the cookie timeout.

It's that the behaviour I describe only occurs on my board! (Hmmm...just tried yours and it's the same "problem")

Here and on most of the other Vb boards that I've tried, if I view a thread (icon: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/) and then click Forum Jump GO (to go back to the thread list), the thread I just viewed shows as "No New Posts" (icon becomes https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/).

(BTW, I force refresh on every page just to make sure it's not my cache, but it makes no difference)

go to your admin cp .set the cookies timeout.

You must stay inactive for the X amount of seconds the thing in the CP tells you. You can of course adjust it.

Hmm, I don't think it's the cookie -- unless most boards have the timeout set to 1 second.

It works fine on these boards:

http://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/
http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/ ;)

TO TEST:

1- Click thread title
2- immediately click "Go" on the Forum Jump (don't use BACK!)
3- look at the icon for the thread you clicked in #1

Now go to http://animeboards.com and try the same procedure - the icon won't change.
