Does anyone have this? It's highly annoying to read a thread, come back the next day and see it bolded (AKA someone posted since I last read it) but discover it's the same post you last saw.

This seems like a cookie thing, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Yes, there is already a thread discussing this in this section of the forums. There may be threads in other areas, but I only go to a few sections and haven't seen them in those few.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Ah, under a different name but that's my woe too. Good to see I'm not the only one then, less good that there isn't a quick fix for it.

As I posted in that other thread and definitely confirmed today.

This happens to me when I switch computers. I checked a couple threads before I left for work. When I got to work, I checked those same threads and clicked on the triangle and was taken to the exact same post I started with at home.

Make sure you are using the "Quick Links > Mark forums read" option before you close your browser. It should reset the "You last visited" clock in the upper-right corner, and provide you with the correct new posts when you return.

Meh. It's not a big deal to me. I was merely offering a possible reason why some people are experiencing this issue. So far, no confirmation from the people complaining about this as to whether they have been switching computers.

Not always.

I only have one computer, sorry.
