Is there a way for me to know if I haven't read a new posting.

If I haven't been to muvipix.com for a couple of days I go straight to forum. Then I click "view posts since your last visit".

I see new threads and posts. Great. Pleanty of good reading.

If I don't have time to read them all I'll close muvipix.com and come back later. (usually when the boss goes away)

When I reopen muvipix and reopen forum I can't tell what posts I have read and what posts I haven't.

How can I fix this?

Thanks
Rich

If you're logged into the forum, Richard, Muvipix will track what you have and have not viewed from any computer.

New topics will show up with yellow flags to the left. Topics you've viewed will show up as blue.

Once you have been to the site it clears what is new, whether you have read them or not. I really don't like this either but it is the way it works currently. Maybe Ron can enlighten us on some trick or possible changes in the future

[hpharley90]

Chuck that is what I thought was happening but I thought maybe I was missing something.
There are many threads that I have not read because of that feature.

That would be great if Ron could change this in the future.

As you know on the Adobe forum site if the flag is gone you already read the latest post.
I like that.

Thanks

Again, Rich. Make sure you're logged in. Otherwise, this feature won't work.

[hpharley90]

Steve I never log out from forum but if I don't read a post and I close muvipix.com those posts will not show up as unread when I do reopen.

[Steve Grisetti]

You're right, Richard. I still see you on line now.

I'm sure Ron will have the definitive answer on this, but is it possible your security settings on your browser are set too high? Maybe blocking all cookies is keepin out too much. (On the other hand, if you were blocking all cookies, you wouldn't stay logged in either, so what do I know?)

...but if I don't read a post and I close muvipix.com those posts will not show up as unread when I do reopen.

Yep, this is by design, sorry to say. It's driven by a current "session" rather than flagged permanently as not read.

We'll be upgrading the forum soon. In our quest for either an upgrade or a different software altogether, we'll try to make this feature a priority; I like the way it works at Adobe forum as well.

[Chuck Engels]

Steve, Just so you understand what we are talking about;

If you go to the forum and have 6 yellow folders, showing that you have unread items, but you only open and read one and then exit. When you come back to the forum it doesn't show the other 5 as still unread, the folders are not yellow anymore, try it and see for yourself.

The only solution is to make sure you read all of the new posts everytime you go to the forum, sometimes that gets to be quite a few and more than I can sometimes read at that particular time. I try to make sure that when I check the forum I will have plenty of time to read all of the new posts.

[hpharley90]

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm glad to know that it's not me and that is the way it's designed to work.

I hope we can get that straightened out in the future.

I don't know what I have been missing.

[Chuck Engels]

One thing that helps is the 'Latest Discussions' at the top of the forum. I use that pretty often to see what I might have missed. Maybe Ron can make it show more than just the last 5 like it currently shows, maybe 10 would be better

This is another reason I take mine in as an RSS feed into my email .. then they all come in (just like emails) .. and I can decide when and in what order to read through them .. at MY convenience.

[Chuck Engels]

One of these days I might have the time to figure out the whole RSS thing

Hey Chuck, I thought that it was just me.......
