Today I came back to the forums after not being on since the day before. It had been around 24 hours. Probably a little less. I am welcomed by seven new posts according to the red squares on the forums, as well as 'New Posts' at the top. I look at all the dates, and that can't be right - I haven't been on since the previous day, but it said posts posted earlier today have already been seen by me.
How exactly does the 'New Posts' thing work. When does it choose to reset everything? I've also noticed that if I stay on the forums idling (say...I take a break from my computer with the forums open), everything is marked read as soon as I refresh.
YM wasn't helpful, and said to go to Drpepper, if anyone, but he was offline. So I'm posting here.5:47 PM - Littleedge [CP/NoG]: How do the forums work with new posts?
5:47 PM - Littleedge [CP/NoG]: Because I haven't been on all day today, yet it says I've read the majority of posts, when in reality, I haven't.
5:54 PM - add me I'll accept today only: ah
5:54 PM - add me I'll accept today only: it doesnt say you've read them
5:54 PM - add me I'll accept today only: its that they're not new to you
5:54 PM - add me I'll accept today only: you've 'had' the oppertunity to see them as new posts
5:54 PM - Littleedge [CP/NoG]: Wha'
5:55 PM - Littleedge [CP/NoG]: Why aren't they marked new to me if I haven't been on all day? 7 threads were marked new out of at least 15 that should have, and that's only maps.
5:56 PM - add me I'll accept today only: oh I don't know how the forum code works
5:56 PM - add me I'll accept today only: I just work here
