When you come into the forum all the messages that you have not read show as a yellow page on the left hand side, this is as it should be.

It disappears for me when I read a thread... haven't touched that functionality as it comes standard with boinc. Maybe an IE feature? (we've only tested with safari and firefox)

(we've only tested with safari and firefox) G'Day Andre, I only use Firefox and I am using my Linux AMD machine to access this web site. It is still happening, began with the recent upgrades worked up till 2 days ago. On my Windows AMD machine I also use Firefox and I don't get any indication in the left hand column that I have read the threads at all as no thread has the yellow page/flag and therefore all appear to have been read when they haven't from that computer. EDIT ::: I tried a couple of things and have found that if I read a thread it does not update that I have read it until I then get out of the Forum and then go back in, it then shows I have read it. (This is on the Linux machine). ____________

I thought it worked for me, but I have noticed this now as well: the yellow icons are visible even after having read the thread. Wonder if it has to do with a database field that doesn't get updated correctly. We'll research this a bit more and get hopefully back with a fix.

Something similar was noticed in the SETI@home forums. Does it make a difference whether you use the browser’s Back function or the 'breadcrumbs' link near the top of the page? Using Safari, IME the yellow icons have never disappeared from BOINC message boards when going Back, but clicking in through any link clears them.

Firefox 2 on Fedora 7 started showing this behavior on projects with new server software (here, Seti/Seti Beta for example). But on projects with old(er) backends, the browser back arrow still will reload the page. Using the refresh button in the browser will update the yellow icons though as will clicking the "breadcrumb" links (I like that term). So my gut feeling is David broke something in the web code.

I always go back with the 'back' arrow at the top left of the browser.

Have no idea what you are talking about with "breadcrumb" links. I guess they’re so called because they provide a trail back home, so to speak; they’re especially useful in large and complex websites. I came across the term in a book about HTML, IIRC; script-driven pages can generate such links automatically from the site’s directory structure. |

OK thanks for the clarifications, I understand now.

That's good to hear. We'll wait for a fix in the boinc code until investigating further.

I can put it on my to-do list, but I don't know when I'll have time to sit down and do it properly. ____________ Kathryn :o) The BOINC FAQ Service The Unofficial BOINC Wiki The Trac System More BOINC information than you can shake a stick of RAM at. |
