New post in thread- Oh no there isn't

Nodding_Donkey

Every time I come on the forum threads are showing bold as if there is a new post in them but there isn't.

I've cleared cookies and even marked whole forums read using 'Forum Tools' but it's still happening.

Any ideas?

I'm using Chrome by the way.

The reason is that the forum software uses cookies to store what has been read or not. Lose or reset the cookie and that info is lost.

Cookie name responsible for that is bbthread_lastview

It's always been a bit unreliable/hit and miss on vBulletin to be honest.

It is possible for site admins to set the to forum store what has been read or not in the forum database instead. Probelm with that is that it would be an enormous amount of extra data and resources needed, and for a forum this size it would be completely impractical.

I am finding it difficult to read since the new style came in. Could we have it all in bold please. I did put a request in to start with and was told it would be passed on.
