| | Posted: | | | | I don't know what logic is used to show the "New Post" indicator in the forums, but it is clearly not taking into account what I've seen/visited  . It would be quite helpful to have this functionality working correctly like with a lot of other forums. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's based on new posts since your last session using a temporary cookie. If you view the forums (or a contribution notes), it creates a new session. If you close your browser, your session is ended. |

| | Posted: | | | | If it's only reset everytime a new session starts, then that's not really helpful, since I guess a lot of users just let their browser window open for hours. Also I don't know how it handles the "keep signed in" feature. I guess I should kick off from the forum and only log in once a day  . |

| | Posted: | | | | Oh yeah, there's a timeout too. Something like 20 minutes or so, your cookie expires. |

| | Posted: | | | | Another tip: Just because you lost the new post indicator doesn't mean it doesn't know where you left off. If you don't read a particular thread for a few days and you last viewed page 3 and now it's over 50, when you click on the thread you see page 3. |

I would other forums would work the same way. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
