Hi Eric, Support

I have had experienced more times until now that the Orange/Yellow read indication on the post icons changes without cause. There are two opposite changes. I will try to reconstruct the two scenario as well as I can remember.

1st Scenario:
=============
* Forum is opened just only in a single window on a single machine.
* I am logged on the Forum
* I have read the new posts on the developers site
* After I have read a thread then I refreshed my developers screen with the "Jump to: OneWorld/XE Developers" Jump button on the bottom of the screen and I have seen that all read post were yellow.
* After I have read the last thread then I haven't refreshed the screen instead of I went to the Who's Online panel after that went to the Main Index select the OneWorld/XE Developers again.
* At this moment all post that I have read in this session turned back to orange.

2nd Scenario:
=============
Sometimes when I have to kill my internet window without log off the Forum and go back and log in again, all post that I have never read turn to yellow.

Is it my special problem only?
It is a bit annoying for me because it makes me harder to follow the posts on the Forum.

Any solution will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Zoltán

Zoltan,

I am unable to reproduce your error.

Zoltan,

I seem to have someting similar, sometime a post (that was yellow before) will turn Orange even if this post as not change at all. I'm still trying to get the patern to reproduce it.

Until I read this, I had not actual noticed that the icons changed colour at all. The difference between the yellow and the orange being particularly subtle on my monitor. I have always just relied on the flag indicating new replies to a post, and sorting by date descending.

Hi Eric,

I have got a suspicion what can cause the Yellow to Orange changes.

Briefly:
When I press a button on the Forum and almost immediatly press an other before the first could be downloaded.

Here is what have I done:
I walked around the Forum, Main Index, Developers, Who is Online more times.
I entered Developers more times and the Orange/Yellow status of the posts was always OK.
After I have read all new posts on the Developers, was staying on the main index.
I pressed the Send Private and almost (1-2 sec) immediately the Check Private, before the Send Private form could be downloaded.

If my memory serves me well, sometimes I have done somthing similar when I experienced the Yellow to Orange changes.

Hopefully you can reproduce the "error" and correct it.

Thanks for all of your work on the Forums/Lists!

Zoltán

Edited:
I have just tried to reproduce but without success. Maybe the delay or phase could be important when do I press the second button after the first.
