[closed] bug/error: View First Unread link doesnt always work correctly

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I use the "View First Unread" button, in each thread pretty often. I have noticed sometimes when i use the link it either take me a post i have already read, sometimes it will take me to a post that is above one of my posts. Other times it will just take me to the first post in the thread.

 

It seems to be an intermittent thing as sometimes it works fine.

 

I am using Firefox In Windows 7 & Mac OS X 10.6 - It does it in both.

 

Cheers

The thing to check is the last visit time in the top right corner, thats where it bases your last post link to. When that updates the link updates to the correct position.

I suspect thats why your experiencing the issue, a browser is keeping your session alive as such and the last visit time (which is when your session times out) is not updated.

I see, i will keep any eye on that and report back.

Yep your right, been keeping an eye on it. What can be done to sort it please?

 

Thanks
