Asterisks in "My Forums" list

muffler

When I hover the mouse over "my Forums" asterisks appear beside 2 or 3 of the forums I moderate to indicate that there are new posts. But when I go to the forums there are no new posts and when i click on another forum the asterisk will disappear only to reappear when I move to another forum.

Hope all that makes sense.

No one's been murdered here but its damn annoying.

What also is happening with me of late, which I didn't think much of, but may aswell include here now: I click to mark forum as read, but it doesn't mark it read at all.

I mark it read, click away, go back up to 'my forums' to see new asterix but nothing new has been posted.

Thanks op, I was just going to put up with it, but since you raised it I thought I'd let you know you're not alone with that *

So essentially you're saying forums aren't been marked as read? Is this on touch or on the full boards website? Could you try both?

Will file a bug report for this on Monday

It's happened a few times to me as well on the full site (only one i use). It's happened back in March and June. It rights itself after a while, so could it be a browser cache problem?

looksee

Mine generally works (beta, full website) but occasionally I go to a site and check the new posts then return to Favourites and the asterisk is still there. Occasionally the bolding that indicates new post also does not go away. Its very hit and miss though and not a great problem.

It is still the same for me though, but if it can't be fixed then no hassle. Nothing major like

I have one forum in the drop down list under "my forums" that is displaying an asterisk but there are no new posts there. Not sure if it's relevant but it's the Donegal forum.

ah I need to *bump* this thread

It's happening again with me when I click 'Mark this forum read' : It marks all threads in forum as read but upon leaving another forum it shows as unread again with no new posts since previous visit to forum.

Which forum are you marking as read that subsequently shows as unread with 0 new posts?

Hello again, hopefully you won't pull much hair out today with me

Today:

/ha! Now this forum is showing an * with no new posts

This has cropped up again just today. 4 forums that I am following (I mod 3 of them btw) have asterisks showing in the drop down list in "my forums" but there are no new posts. Using FF 14.0.1

Update: I restarted the browser (if thats the right phrase) and problem solved.

Either that or Danny has been shooting stars

Indeed, it would appear that restarting your browser probably fixed the issue for now. If it reappears let us know, changes going on here for various fixes that should resolve the My Forums issues once and for all
