Posts marked as read issue?

Leave it on for a bit and see if it gets better... perhaps the database method is playing with the cookies already in place? but yeah, I'm not seeing any new topics pop up that I've even replied to go "read."

It goes wonky at first, use the mark all forums/posts read on your personal menu to start it fresh.

Also clear your cache, the cookies bork things further. Once that is all cleared up it will be fine. Just give it a day, in the end you will enjoy it a lot more.

You have fighting cookies with the db. ;)

I think something may not be set right in the Admin CP.

It may also be caching on the server as well. Still wait a day to be safe.

I'm seeing some weird behavior

I think it works but does not work with the 'latest thredas' thing at the top of the forum :(

I think you pegged it down, thats what I am seeing here. :( Is that an add-on module? if so, is there an updated version? or another setting for that module to work?

Have you looked at SMF? Simple Machines Forum?

I use it on a couple of sites and it does really well at keeping track via the DB. It also has a script to convert your entire vBulletin site to SMF.

I find it annoying not seeing what is read and etc as well, but the new posts at the top are pretty handy.

This may contain the solution, but of course I don't have access to any of this stuff.

Perhaps a mod or admin can take a look?

Here is the code for the latest threads - it only reads from the cookie :(

if ($thread['lastpost'] > $lastread) {

$threadview = fetch_bbarray_cookie('thread_lastview', $thread['threadid']);

if ($thread['lastpost'] > $threadview) {
$show['firstnew'] = true;
$show['icon'] = false;
}
}

That might do it :-P

Did you read here? http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...6&postcount=15

Perhaps this could fix it.
