Hello again, I'm getting a number of comments from users that the Car Talk forums do not appear to be remembering when they have read certain discussions. Each time they access the list of discussions it either shows every discussion as read, or every discussion as unread. They have reportedly tried refreshing the page, and logging in and back out. Do you have any guidance? Thank you!

  • Howdy, I can't reproduce this problem. Here's what I tried: I created a new user with 'Rank 1' role and viewed 2 discussions. I then logged out and logged in in another browser, and it correctly displayed new notifications as expected (and not on the ones I'd read). Can you give more details, a link to the issue report, and/or directly quote the members having issues?
  • Hi Lincoln, here's one thread in which it was discussed: http://community.cartalk.com/discussion/2281219/cartalk-not-keeping-track-of-posts-i-read I am sorry to be so vague. I hadn't been able to duplicate the issue, but then it appeared to resolve itself, and now I am seeing that the Mark as a Troll add-on is causing the posts to show up as Unread even though they do not exist in the body of the discussion. I un-marked the troll for now.
  • If it comes up again, please let us know. It's possible it was a temporary caching issue.
