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.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By StuM ·

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By billchao ·

      You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By collegefbfan ·

      Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.
