SO ANGRY!!!! TECH GUYS!!!

AND AGAIN I HAVE LOST ALL THE ACTIVE TOPICS AND I WASNT EVEN HALF WAY THRU READING THEM ALL....

I AM SO ANNOYED I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO BOTHER ANYMORE.

I AM AFRAID IF YOU DONT GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND SOON YOU WILL BE LOSING SOME VERY VALUABLE MEMBERS!!!!!!!    

I very rarely come on here anymore, and if i do it is just to read, not to post as the posting always takes ages...

Makes me sad that there are probs cos I like it here...

I don't even know what your on about with the active topics but I do find the wee envelopes change back to already read before I have read them I just look at the times of last posts and figure out if I have read them or not

it happened to me this morning too, and I had to go through the last weeks topics and I had only read one bloody topic, I was sooooooo peed off. Am getting sick of it now.

Argh, watch me while I strangle myself! I feel your frustration! The tech team are working on it, and Angela is chasing them up as I type, so hopefully it will FINALLY be sorted once and for all.

Thank you so much for your ongoing patience while we sort out these errors, our sincere apologies for all the frustration!

ooops, i wasnt very patient sorry...

not so angry abut it now - more frustrated than anything else... sorry.

i already outlined what steps i take in the other thread re this..


but i do this..

eg. login, click "active topics", topics since "20 November 2007 at 12:30pm" are displayed, view topic, post reply,

then i use the recent topics button on my browser to go back to active topics and wa la - they arent there anymore...

I am auto logged in as well, I come in through the main site, click on the forums link on the right hand side.

Once on the main forum page I click active topics and they come up for however long it's been since I last visited the site (so, first thing in the morning about 9am it will be since 8.30pm the night before, for example).

I click on a thread/topic I want to read, have a nosey and sometimes post a reply, sometimes not (it doesn't seem to make any difference, but I'll pay more attention to see if there is a pattern here).

Then I click back on my browser (using IE) and instead of going back to the original active topics list from 8.30pm the night before, it has reset itself to 9.02am or whatever time I first clicked through from the original list. So all the topics from the past 12 hours have gone.

Thank you for the feedback.

Being able to replicate the problem consistently would be of great help.

I will see if my active topics reset after posting this reply...

EDIT:
No, posting that reply did not reset the date when I go to the active topics.

Just to clear up what appears to be happening. The active topics page defaults to show new posts/topics since last logging into the forum. This date is stored as a cookie on the user's computer. This date seems to be getting reset incorrectly for some users.
I cannot replicate this problem so if you could narrow down the action that causes the "last logged in" date to reset, I should be able to find what is going on

Beverage would knowing the Browser types help you?
