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.

    • Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
