Albert Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I just updated the forum with a new version of the software. The update contains just bug fixes (and quite a few of them), including one that supposedly makes the "View New Posts" feature work more reliably. However, you'll want to "Mark all posts as read" once in order to reset your post markers. You can follow this link to do so: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...gin&CODE=05 You can also find this link on the main page, near the bottom (above the "Board Statistics" box). Please post here if you continue to see odd behavior with the new post markers after you've done this. As a reminder, you can always use the "Today's Active Topics" link on the front page to see all active topics within the last 24 hours: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?a...;CODE=getactive Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/120232-forum-updated-please-mark-all-posts-as-read/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I hope this works better now. It hasn't been working reliably in the recent past.

Albert Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks Al. No problem. Wish there was a way I could prevent this from happening as often as it does (it is, by far, the most common question I see on the forum!) This seems to happen sometimes when people enter AtariAge through Google search results, and it appears, sometimes seems to be a cookie issue. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/120232-forum-updated-please-mark-all-posts-as-read/#findComment-1454998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Man Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Al, It seems like the post markers are generally working better, but when I view "My Posts" the threads are always marked as read even if there are new unread posts. I've tried clicking on "Mark All Posts As Read" as well as clearing cookies for the Forum, but My Posts markers still aren't updating properly.

Now if you can only figure out why I'm still not receiving PM notices... I decided to check the default box for e-mail to see if that will make any difference. I've been posting so infrequently lately that I shouldn't get too many notices.

FireTiger Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It seems to work properly most of the time, then goof up like it did before whatever fix you did. Like if I post in a thread, and come back later to "View my post" sometimes although I am the last post and I viewed my post it will show as orange (unread). It did this today as a matter of fact. The thread was ... the one about the Kangaroo coin-op... i posted last in it, it had more views and showed orange.

Albert Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yep, it's messing up again. New posts over the weekend are not showing orange in My Posts. I filed a bug regarding problems with the "View New Posts" feature, but Invision didn't even comment on it. This perturbs me quite a bit, since keeping track of what messages and threads you've already read should be one of the most critical functions of forum software. That Invision cannot get this critical functionality working consistently and that they don't seem to care too much about it really tweaks me. I wrote the "My Posts" query (it is not built into the software), so I may be able to fix that. But if it's relying on some underlying Invision functionality that's broken in the same way that the "View New Posts" feature is broken, it's unlikely I can do anything about it. If vBulletin had a nice Gallery and Blog module, I would consider switching. There was a time when Invision was moving pretty quickly with new versions and improvements, but these days they are pretty glacial. Even the new phpBB 3.0 looks pretty appealing. While it would be a huge amount of work, moving over to vBulletin with a more professional Gallery module and real blogging software (like Wordpress or something) integrated into the site would be fantastic.. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/120232-forum-updated-please-mark-all-posts-as-read/#findComment-1468843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Galaga Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) I can not find a way to Mark all posts as read since the upgrade. I can only find the "(Mark this forum as read)" in each section. Can anyone help me out? Ooops, never mind. I finally found it in the small grey print at the very bottom in the copyright line.

+LS650 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I find the fastest, easiest way is to click on "View New Content" in the top right corner. Once the newest posts are shown, then click on "Mark all items as read)" an inch or so below that spot.

Albert Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 I posted a long message about some of the Blog issues here: http://forums.invisionpower.com/topic/291502-very-unhappy-with-ip-blog-2-0/page__p__1847815entry1847815 They admit there are issues and that they plan on making many improvements, but I don't think it's going to happen very quickly. It's possible they may soon focus on the Blog, now that they are passed the hurdle of getting IP.Board 3.0 released (as well as their new "Community Content System" 1.0 two weeks ago), but I'm going to assume it's going to be a while. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/120232-forum-updated-please-mark-all-posts-as-read/#findComment-1823170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
