I like to get on the forum and read threads using the "Go to First New Post" functionality.

But, it seems like if someone posts something new in any topic while I'm reading it wipes out remembering when I last logged in. So, things that are new to me no longer show up as new.

Anyone else have this problem?

Anything I can set in my User CP or anything to stop this from happening?

Thanks

It's not "since you last logged in." It's updated by the minute and it's from the time of your last action: responding, clicking a new thread, visiting your user control panel... anything that the site registers as "action" and more than a minute ago wipes out all "new" stuff.

I think that's what you're asking - and it doesn't have anything to do with whether someone posts something something new. "New," again, has to do with your last "action" on the site, not your last login.

OK, yeah, I think you answered my question. So that makes sense, but it still does not function as I would expect and as other forums I visit function.

On the other forums, it actually knows what you've read and what you haven't read. So, you can read a thread, post in that thread (as you describe, this would be an action that wipes out what is "new"), and then when you get back to the list of topics it still knows what is new to you, i.e. what threads and posts you haven't read yet.

Does that make sense? Doesn't it bug you when you get back from playing a round, you can see the ~10 threads with new posts, you read a couple, and then all of a sudden nothing is marked as "new" anymore? -Thanks, WSF

vBulletin is one of the most widely used pieces of forum software in the world. There's phpBB (which works the same) and Invision (which works the same). Very few work differently, and less than half of the others monitor individual "read status" - doing so would result in massive amounts of data being stored. We have thousands of threads, hundreds of thousands of posts, and thousands of users. Storing each read status for each user would be HUGE.

No. I open all the unread threads - sometimes three or four pages of threads - immediately. I don't miss anything. I have an AppleScript to do it automatically for me, in fact. I don't "read a couple" - I open them all as soon as I load up the "getnew" URL.

Actually, two of the ones I use are vBulletin ( http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/v...n/index.php?s= ) / ( http://www.broncosfreak.com/forum/ ) The other one uses Invision ( www.brewboard.com ). I'm positive these work as I described. There are a couple others that use phpBB, and it's "new post" functionality doesn't seem to work as well.

Edit - one other thing to add. The functionality on those other sites works as I described "within a given session". I.e. if I log on, close my browser, and then log back on - all of the info. on what is new resets. But, "within a given session" it does remember what is new and what is not regardless of what other "actions" I have performed.

I'm not getting into a fight with you over this, but no, I don't think that's right. We have the same version of vBulletin and there's no control to change that specific functionality.

    • Here is one of my swings where I made what felt like good contact. This isn’t a full speed swing but maybe it should be because a big fault of mine is over swinging. So what im working on is, from A4 my first move has been hands going out toward the ball. This seems to have caused tons of inconsistencies for years. I’ve just made it work with decent hand eye coordination, I guess. Like I said previously, the swing thought/feel is from A4, the lead arm/hands drop down and back to start. Then I feel like my hands get as close to my quads as possible. I’ve never come close to this because my brain never believed contact could be made from there.   Also, this all began when I decided to get the early extension and flipping out. Overall goal is a consistent swing and ball flight and get into some tournament play and get competitive in my club championship.  Hope I get this right, I haven’t done it in a while.        Disregard the pants…I got hot in the garage..😀 I also thought I clicked the audio off on the video but obviously did not.
