Sarah Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I normally use the New Content button in the top right hand corner for viewing new threads/posts. These past few days, it hasn't been working very well, sometimes it would tell me there aren't any new content available, when I can see clearly that there is via the board index. Other times it won't delete threads I've read off the list, and keep saying it's new. And no, there weren't new posts - even when I clicked it a few times. I'm a bit OCD, so this greatly annoys me. Also with the forums, say the "guppies" section for example, there won't be any new posts, but the icon is still blue. If I go into it, nothing. Now I'm not sure how this works with other forums, but sometime ago I marked all forums on the board as read, so everything is normally grey, unless there is a new post.. so I guess you could say I never miss anything.

Bettarazzi Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Not sure why it's not working for you. New content seems to work for me on all the devices that I browse the forum on (MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and the crappy work PC, shush about that). Maybe you could try clearing out your browsing history, cookies and cache to see if it fixes itself. It could mean that everything will become unread but you could perhaps use the 'Todays active content' button to check the latest posts and then mark the board read after that. Maybe I should stop procrastinating with the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've tried that, but it seems to not be working both on the he computer, the Apple store, etc. I'm on my iPod at the moment, so far so good, but we don't have wi-fi at home do I only ever use it if I can use Somebody elses. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 The Apple Store? Oh, you mean you logged into the forum on a machine at the Apple Store. Yeah.... not sure about this one. Let's see if anyone else is having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It was also funny on my iPod, too. That's three different sources, either the forum is really in need of that update, or it dislikes me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettarazzi Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hmm it's very odd that it's just you. I'm not sure what could have changed either at your end or the forum end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 No probs here. Sometimes I confuse myself if I check out someone's profile and then click on the new content button... I know there are more unread topics, but it usually says no new content ... but that's because it's in the "members section" not the "forum section". Perhaps you are sending out the wrong kind of electrical aura into the complex life force that is the world wide web. You need to take a moment, reboot and chill out. Calm the output frequencies!

Bettarazzi Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think Paul's been drinking Ness' coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Not yet but it's a great idea... Except my coffee is tea coloured, just got poured onto ice and sounds alot like SCOTCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Lol. Good to see you settle in to normal life after your trip Paul. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Funny you should say it Paul. I got back from KL and had to attend a leadership/innovation/project management course for the week. Not really normal life at all ... Got brainwashed, but managed to avoid the group hug!!! Lol It even all makes sense to me too now!!! Thank you!

Fletch Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 A few more of your "special" coffees and you will probably find out the meaning of life. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Still having this problem, makes navigating the forum quite difficult, very behind in posts. Any chance of a solution? Maybe an update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiameseFightingFist Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I find this happens sometimes when I use the 'view new content' so it's not just you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 It happens to me when I'm looking in the members section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 You have to make sure you're on the forums tab when you hit View New Content. Can someone please take a screenshot next time it happens? I'm not convinced an update will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sorry never got around to taking that screen shot earlier. Says there is only one new content thread, yet there are many. Just annoying really, have been missing a lot of things lately. I've been looking at stuff if it's highlighted in boards, say "general discussion's" icon (as an example) will be blue, rather than grey... although that's been mucking up too, sometimes it stays grey, sometimes it won't go grey after everything has been read. Hope I made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Looking at that photo, a certain someone might say you're getting notifications for the thread that matters Seriously though, that is so weird that you aren't seeing everything new. I hope things resolve soon, as it would annoy the you know what out of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 *lol* ... but what about the OTHER threads this certain somebody posts? I might miss those! The few threads that do show as new have nothing in common as far as I can see. They aren't only showing threads from an individual, doesn't make a difference if I have posted previously in that topic or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neffy Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 a tempory work arround to try might be to go into your settings - general settings - Search Settings and change "show me all new content since my last visit" -> "Show me all content i have not read". I started using it when i would visit but not check everything and then itd wipe all the threads because id "seen" them since i last visited.

Sarah Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I did that about a year ago, works better. Then all of a sudden it started glitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
