Hi Percy,
Message 121 has some interesting symbols injected. Don't know what text editor DBlevins is using ...
quote: It could be single or double quotes

Hi everyone!
I just completed the installation of a minor update:

Your updates suck, Percy. You haven't fixed anything. People are still disagreeing with me. I want this bug fixed now.

The status box at the top of each page now includes a line about the volume of posts, ranging from the past year to the past hour.
On another topic, please, everyone, explain to Taz that you're not disagreeing with him, that you're merely trying to feed his paranoia.

Hey Percy,
When I click on the blue arrow next to the threads in the "All Topics" page to go to the last read message, it just takes me to the last message, especially if the last time I read the thread was a couple days prior. I noticed this most after the most recent redesign of the buttons/icons. Was there something else changed besides just the icon?

Just to be clear, you're talking about the blue left arrow in the left most column of the All Topics page, right?
This arrow appears to be working properly. It should take you to the first unread message, which is one after the last read message. If you've already read all the messages in that thread, then it will take you to the last one. Is anyone else seeing a problem with this?

I've noticed the same thing Percy. Sometimes it takes me to the last read and sometimes it takes me to the last post whether I've read all the prior posts or not. This seemed to happen on threads that I hadn't been in for several days (or since before you changed the arrow icons?).

Yes I am having this issue too. Seems to be hit and miss. But there very well may be a pattern. I will monitor which ones seem to working correct to see if I can figure out a pattern.

To Perdition, Asgara, Theodoric,
I've now observed the same problem of inconsistently incorrect behavior. I'm on vacation and have few diagnostic tools available to me here on my wife's MacBook. If someone is able to discern a pattern please post a note here. Thanks! Oh, by the way, I did make what I thought was a very minor change a day or two ago. Can anyone confirm that this problem predates that change?

Admin writes: Can anyone confirm that this problem predates that change? No, sorry. But I'm seeing it too. It used to be that if your cookie settings remembered you had been in that thread, then the arrow would work correctly. But if your cookie settings did not know that you had previously been in that thread, then the arrow would bring you to the first message. Now it seems to be either working correctly, or if your cookie settings do not know that you've previously been in that thread... then the arrow brings you to the last message. Is that correct? The sporadic workings of the arrow could just be from varying cookie memories. Is it possible to have different icons for the arrow depending on if a cookie-memory for the thread is found? That is... a blue arrow would indicate that a cookie-memory was found for that specific thread, and it would work correctly in bringing you to the last-read message. But, perhaps, a black arrow could indicate that no cookie-memory was found for that thread, and therefore you will be brought to the last message. Such a difference in icons (if possible) may also help debugging?

Um... this may be a really stupid question, but where is the link for me to edit my profile and signature? I can't find it.

Hi Stile,
The old cookie-style approach is no longer used. You'll still have ThreadTrackerCookie around until it expires after a year (or you delete cookies), but it is no longer referenced. Now the time of the most recent message you've read in a thread is stored in the database. If a thread has 6 pages and you've only read up through page 3, then the time of what was then the last message on page 3 is stored in the database. The next time you click on the left arrow you'll be taken to the first message after what was the last message on page 3. Except that sometimes this isn't working. I can probably fix it even from the hotel, but only if I can figure out what is causing the problem, and my ability to diagnose from here is minimal. Having different colored arrows where a black arrow would link to the thread's last message would be a fine approach, but I elected to keep the right hand column that along with a link to the last message also includes information about author and time.
