is it just me, firefox, or did the way the forum software change the update of new and unread posts?
It used to update periodically even when a site was open.
Now I noticed that when I come back the next day, the unread and new posts listed are still the same listed when I visited the website last time. eventually, they are corrected but I have to read (well, open them) them at least twice.
With me, if i keep the list of topics open, a line of blue text appears on the top saying “# new or updated topics, view” (roughly translated, i have my settings on dutch). Then you click on that tekst and it updates the page.
I do know Olof has been doing some updates on the Forum server this last week. Alas, they have little control over what features are added/removed as they just deploy the Discorse updates when required with features/security totally out of their hands.
Today I checked again and noticed that threads where I was the last one to post were shown to me as “unread”. (Not true, I try to re-read all my post before posting. )
Maybe that’s the thing…
