That's a good point. As a mod, i could go in and check them, and they did change when all threads in the sub forum were read.

So must be a bug that people are being notified?

How about this, wehen you arrive into CoP, and you see a dot thats black, try pressing f5, and then
if it disappears, you don't have any new posts.
If it remains black, you really do have new posts.

Try this, and I bet you that you will be convinced very quickly that its to do with what is new to you, and not others.

Im not disagreeing with you sK.

Im agreeing it is to do with what i can see - but Mick (who had the original issue) could see 'goodies' as a parent forum, but not the fora within - and the black dot was appearing for him. Now, as you say it always remained black, so his interpretation was incorrect and he read into it was counter productive, but the way we structure the parent/child relationships will mean he can see if there are posts he hasnt seen in the parent forum.

So the best way to actually build the forums would be to not have a goodies/baddies parent forum, and just have separate parent forums for the BG, Vig, Priest etc etc etc.

Maybe the visibility permissions on the 'goodies' parent forum need to be tweaked as well and this would fix it.

Ah mine is on Sunday, I've never met anyone who had the same birthday as me so I thought "oh my, could this be it!!"

I know somebody that shares your birthday. Maybe I'll introduce you :P

I also know one person who shares MrsF's birthday.

Yeah that's basically what I said above. I think it has to do with the top level forum permissions for Goodie or Baddie. It shows new posts have been made in that broader forum, but not necessarily in the subforum you have access to. Would be worth a test though.

I don't think it's a bug, but it's very difficult to test without admin access, or access to the back end at least. I wouldn't consider it metadata though.

Its meta-meta data.

You explain the etc first I asked first

do you not know what etc means? I asked if you were saying you knew better than me about the monkeytronics account etc. It is basic English Tigger.

abbreviation for et cetera: and other similar things. It is used to avoid giving a complete list:
We saw lots of lions, tigers, elephants, etc.

So I was meaning about the whole situation.

No I don't know about the hole situation
I don know who Max is tho

Anyway, back to feedback on the ST game, though I am not sure if I am qualified to give feedback.

Q/Jester: This caused major problems. There was too much "we can't hit Q, what if we hit Q" going on, which unbalanced the villagers more than my untimely demise. Announcing the death of the jester freed the village to get on with it.

Don't get me wrong, Sully played the part beautifully, but there needs to be tweaks to the jester gameplay.

(Just to keep it with the ST theme of the game, and Pter will understand - I would have called the lynching of Q immediately, especially early game. Q lynched, click fingers, back to farpoint station, "I told you humans were savages. I win!" and let the remaining players decide if they want to go on a simple village/wolf game for runner up or not)

Aside from that, it was a well managed game, and it was interesting to see how not to play it *cough*village*cough*

You really aren't making any sense Tigger.

That's not all the posts
If you read all the posts you'd understand
You can't just read some of the story and think you know the beginning
