It's about how the forum marks threads and forum areas for new posts. This normally works just fine, but if I go into a thread and start typing a long post (well, just be in there for a long time, which usally means making a long post), then when I'm done and return to the main forum page, all the threads that were previously marked for new posts are no longer marked, and I have to look at the dates of the last post to see where there are new ones. I have no idea why the marks for new posts would disappear, but it has only happened after I've made a post that took a long time to type up (not sure exactly how long is long, but I'd say at least 10 minutes, probably more..), and it happens without any exceptions too.

This may be out of your control anyway, Shaggy, but I was just wondering if you know what causes it? It's a lil annoying, and I can go around it by simply not posting that long post until I'm done reading the rest, but I tend to forget :)

No its not out of my control. Its a time stamp thing Shadow. The threads will read unread of 900 seconds or until you veiw them. So once you visit the forums, and see that there are over 20 new posts and you take 900 seconds to look at one, you will not be able to see the rest. Do you get it for what I said, cause I sure don't.. :p

900 seconds? That's 15 minutes..

Guess I really should try to remember to read everything before making lengthy posts :)
