New post markers are disappearing

[skymama 35]

I try to be a good Mod and read all the new posts, but the forums are working against me sometimes. I'll go to a new forum, start clicking through the orange threads and after just a few clicks the whole page will clear. When that happens, I don't know how much I still have yet to read. It's getting a little frustrating because it is making me miss things I need to delete.

Is this happening to anyone else?

What browser are you using?

The new thread/old thread stuff is controled by your cookies. Log off of DZ.com, delete your cookies, log back in and try again. If you're still having problems, run your anti-spyware software since you may have something that is causing your browser to log cookies incorrectly.

I use IE, but the weird thing is that it's not consistant in when the page clears. I know I'm not hitting a wrong button or anything either. I'll try the suggestions you made though.

I had the opposite thing happen earlier today. I was all caught up on the Announcements forum, but when I logged in, it said all 108 posts were new. I went in that forum and sure enough, everything was listed as new. I went back to the index and reloaded and the "108 new" indicators went away, just like normal. None of the new post markers in the other forums I read seem to have been affected.

As has been suggested, you might try logging out, closing your browser, clearing all your cookies, and trying again. This may not help, but: you might also make sure the clock on your computer is accurate (both time and date) and set for the right time zone.

It seems like if I don't check a fourm for a few months or more, eventually it will reset itself like I haven't read any of the threads instead of remembering the last time I opened it.
