Oddity on VoIPuser forums

OK - maybe not an oddity...

If I log on and peruse the forums - and then run out of time
log off and then later get back on - all the new messages
I haven't read are gone.

Luckily they do have dates so I can catch up but if I didn't
read them or mark them as read I thought it should leave them
as New messages.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Brett,

That's to do with the way that cookies get set and datetimestamped. It looks at when you were last logged in, and the date and times of posts.

So when you login and logout, you effectively reset it.

If you leave it logged in, it works fine.

I built the recent posts list for this reason - at least then you get the whole lot in date order:-
