dbminter Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Is there something wrong with the board right now? Unread Contents is displaying a new message, but when I open it, instead of opening the latest post, it displays the first post. And, even if I do do that, the forum still thinks it's an unread post. Only if I actually open the page containing the last post does Unread Contents clear the post. Thanks!
ianymaty Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Some days ago the Messages icon showed I have new message but when I access it the last message was from 2 yers ago... 😀 I figured that some changes was made to the board so I didn't bothered.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 It isn't a feature of the board software that I use, so I don't know if it's working normally or not. I haven't updated the forum software in a few weeks, so if it's only just started happening in the last day or so, it's probably not that. We got visited by a nice spamming bot the other day that private messaged every user on the board with an explicit link. I obviously put a stop to it as soon as I saw what was happening, and in doing so, all of those PMs got removed from the system. That might have caused some confusion with unread messages though. I'd probably just mark the entire forum as Read, optionally clear cookies and see if it starts working normally again.
ianymaty Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks for clarifying what happened. In my case that is obvious that was the cause.
dbminter Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Board appears to be operating as "expected" now when I click on unread content.
