Has anyone else noticed an issue with the New Posts button in the forum?

It sometimes returns no results found for me when there are new posts since I was last here.

For example, this thread didn't show up in the New Posts search and I only saw it because one of the later post notifications showed up in chat.

This is not the first time I have seen this issue. Phil, Ryan - any ideas?

i have this issue mainly when updating a post, it just times out, to get around it all i do is copy whats in the post and then hit back, then edit post again and paste, seems to work the second time.

I think you misunderstood.

To clarify, I'm talking about the "New Posts" button at the top of the page that lists the posts that are new since your last visit.

Sometimes I see a thread that's days old and think "hey, why didn't I see that before now?"

I understood, I just thought I would throw that one in there as well

I use Mozilla and haven't noticed any issues, but I'm not involved in as may discussions as you. But just to make sure, maybe I'll go read the whole forum again.....

David,

The one idea that comes to mind is that the Forum and Chat share the same cookie from memory and the new post query will likely be based on the last time you were on the forum based on the cookie information.

Or maybe the forum is storing the info....

Either way i bet it's a tie in to Chat presence.

Cheers
Phil
