For some reason the script isn't recognizing read posts in threads, until you load it at least twice.

as in I post a reply, it shows up and is presented by the script, leave the thread and come back, and my reply is marked that I have not read it.

or

the reply is marked that I have read it, but the posts I have read in the thread before posting it aren't.

both happen constantly.

I thought I was going nuts!

I figured out that if I exit the thread after I post, when I return everything is as it should be. If I pull a thread back from the "Hot" list, heaven only knows what it will look like.

Drives me absolutely spare.

Reloading does not seem to help, no matter how many times I do it. Even after the post titles grey out.

EDIT: I've also noticed that sometimes, upon joining, new members are given a 'date joined' one day ahead. Odd.

for a long time. That and reading from several different systems. More than once I have mentioned that there should be a way to 'mark' what we have already read.

A new one for me, started a few weeks ago, is that when I hit TR, sometimes (at random) I am an anonymous user. That in itself is not too odd, but about 30% of the time, if I post, I dont have to log in, it auto-changes me to be logged in. But the majority of the time I do need to log in.

fix though to get the posts marked right.
the service is still available, so it's only a minor issue in the way that the PTBs look at it, that's why I used oddity in the thread title rather than issue.

edit to add:

I've had weird login stuff since 1999.
I'm logged in one time, follow a link and need to login to get to the page / download.

or logged in and posting and need to login to view my own profile. :D

that has always been around for me.

just would be nice to have.

As for the logins, when going to your profile, it asks again, and when going to some other content, it asks again.
I know its a cookie issue, but it seems to be server side related, as it does it in FF, IE and on 4 different systems. This issue started about 3 weeks ago. But this is the first I've brought it up cause I can still get around.
