Sometimes when I load up NZFF, it says that, for example there is an unread post in the Screenshots forum, I go in to check it, and there's not. I know I can click 'mark all posts read' but that doesn't fix it for long. It makes it hard to find where there are posts that I actually haven't read.
How can I fix this? Firefox 2.0 btw

I suspect that if someone edits a post, it will show up as new. So will poll votes, even if nothing else is added.
When I first load up the forum, I click on 'View new posts', read whatever interests me, then I go back to the main page and mark all as read.

Humm, thats interesting. I think it might depend on how you visit the topics - I think the forum might be a little picky about it.

How do you view the threads? It might make a difference if instead of going straight back to the main page after looking at whatever thread in x forum, you went back to the sub-forum. So, instead of going "Screenshot Thread => Main Forum Page", perhaps go "Screenshot Thread => Screenshot forum page (with the list of the threads etc) => Main Forum Page".

Although it might not really be a lot of fun visiting an extra page - at least it will give us a bit more info on whether its the forum or some setting on your PC that is causing this, and then we can see if we can't find a solution.

Thanks, I might just try Rob's idea

Randomly since yesterday (when the board was updated), I am suddenly seeing the little orange 'new post' marker next to loads of topics which I have already read last week!

I selected to 'mark all topics as read' option but it makes no differance. Any idea why?

Hmm, I updated the board on Friday - yesterday I fixed the video thing and updated the gallery. What times did you notice it happening yesterday? Maybe an idea would be to just log out then in again and see what happens there?

If they are polls, a new vote will make them appear as unread (although won't bump them to the top of the list), would that be the case?

I'm getting the same thing; it's been doing it for a couple of days now...

I go down and 'mark all posts as read,' but some still appear as being 'new,' even though they're up to a few weeks old

The ones I'm getting as 'new' aren't polls, just normal threads.
