I've noticed mutliple times today that the "new post" tag appearred on a thread I had posted to and when I reentered the thread the last post is my own. On a completely unrelated note. I noticed that Mozilla doesn't like when I tab back out of a thread after reading it. It still shows it as being unread. However when I click on the forum header it will show all the threads I had previously read as having been read. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Are we sure the Mods aren't hiding the new posts? On a completely unrelated note. I noticed that Mozilla doesn't like when I tab back out of a thread after reading it. It still shows it as being unread. I have observed this behavior for the last two years on all three major browsers. I've gotten into the habit of not using the back button on these forums. |

this is immediately after I've posted so I don't think that they'd have time to even read a post let alone hide it after my post is made Second point. Agreed, I just tend to ignore it though it is annoying to see. I use IE 7 or 8 at work and it doesn't appear to do the unread thread thing In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Not us mods, but we might do it if you ask us nicely ;-) It would appear to be an artefact of the way the flags are calculated, when you post to a thread several fields are updated, when you leave the thread a few more get updated, now if the sequence of updates and actions gets slightly out of step you get this happen. I can't comment on the behaviour of different browsers as I normally only use Firefox. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |
