New Posts Not Showing
I miss a lot of threads because new posts don't always show and so I have to go by date. I have blown my cookies out several time for the site.
Any, ideas? Any one else have the problem?
hasn't been a problem for me. perhaps using the "Todays Posts" option will work?
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

When you log on check the remember me box next to your login. That will set a cookie on your machine. If you are purging cookies then you are purging the forum cookie as well and that might be your problem.

I always check remember me. I purged the cookies because that is the most often cited reason for the problem I am having here at this site.Originally Posted by Rick
I don't purge my cookies and I have the same problem. Usuallly after a few minutes of being logged in The system "refreshes" or something, and where there were 50+ threads that I haven't read then there are only 3-8 threads that are "new". I haven't been logging in unless I have something that I REALLY need to say, like now. Otherwise I just "Lurk". Because of this I rarely log in anymore. I mentioned something about this very thing a while back.
Yes, I could use the "Today's posts" function,under the "Quick links" tab, but it shows all of them as "Read". This is the only Forum that this happens on, of several that are "Powered by V-Bulletin".
I am reading here daily, But unless there is something that I am just absolutely dieing to say, I just don't Log in. If it weren't for this thread, I wouldn't have logged in at all. I know that as soon as this posts I have lost 30+ threads minimum that I haven't even looked at..... Oh well back to "Lurking"....
Edit: I just lost over 50 threads..............
What if you open up two windows of the forum? One for posting, one for reading?

Tried that. After I read the first thread the second one "Logs in" and the same thing happens.
Cookies allow the program to know what is "New" since your last visit,, you need to have them enabled in your browser, when you log out the program "Clears" them until you log on again

Cookies are enabled on my computer. This is the only "Powered by V-Bulletin" Forum I am on that this happens on. I have cleared the cookies from my computer ONCE in 3 months. That is NOT the problem with my case. It also happened on another computer altogether. Cookies is not the problem.
Edit: Now this is the ONLY new thread that shows on my PC. I just logged in and responded to JUST this post. Did nothing else. yet all the new posts are "Gone" when I click "New posts". Going back to LURKING where I can at least keep up with the posts.

Hmmm,, I haven't had any problem like that, sorry I couldn't help, good luck
I have the same problem as Paco...basically, it always seems like once I check into the new posts page it marks them all as read, then when I refresh, there are only the newest posts that have been made since I last refreshed, and all the other "new" posts that I havent yet read have disappered
It's definitley an issue of this site and not the users. I have the same problem. Something must be misconfigured or malfunctioning on the site's end.
Many users are having the same problem and all seem to have cookies enabled. That should let ya know it's on the site end and not the users.
Usually if I sit in one thread for more than a minute or so, it marks all posts read. Now, a week ago it was working fine for a few days and now it's back to the same ole same ole.
This is the only forum it happens on.
I havent noticed any problems with the new posts.

Could it be the Browser I/we are using?? I am using Firefox.
Maybe, I have IE 8 , its all Ive ever used

BTW If I sound angry, I apologize. I am NOT angry, only Frustrated... REALLY Frustrated!!
No need to apologize, I dont think you sounded angry. I have been having loads of trouble with myspace over the last 2 or 3 days so I can relate to the frustration.BTW If I sound angry, I apologize. I am NOT angry, only Frustrated... REALLY Frustrated!!

This is something I ALWAYS do!! Just in case someone thinks this is the cause. I also checked my cookies for this site and I have SEVERAL with different "names".(11 Cookies for this site) I am thinking about purging all my cookies and starting all over again.
Check if maybe your browser is automatically purging the cookies, just a thought.

No they were all still there after I logged out even. I went ahead and purged my cookies for just this site. We will see if that has any effect.
