Yeah, I have problems like that from time to time. So what I do is look for when I have last logged in or try to remember what days I haven’t read.
I have a different problem. I’ve gone back to old threads and discover somebody had answered a post of mine, but it never showed up as a new post to me. I can’t imagine what caused that. Of course, if you told me, I still probably wouldn’t know. 🙂
It could be old age too… I just didn’t see the new post message.

It could be old age too… I just didn’t see the new post message. If you come here to check a new posts and then leave before finishing, it marks all the posts as read, even if you didn’t read them. I have missed several like that and didn’t even notice till much later. I recently found one where I had made someone mad but didnt even realize it till I was bored and going through old topics one day.
I understood that! Thanks, Ski. That explains a lot. Sometimes I check at work and I don’t get to everything, so I go to check at home and probably don’t see it again. I’ll try not to do that anymore.

When I have that problem, I do a search for “tha* OR the* OR thi* OR *ing* OR *and* OR *ear* OR *one*” (search for any of the terms, not all of them).
That search will list every post on the forum in descending order, so you can go back to the date/time of the post that you last checked and see all of the ones which have been updated since then.
O.o!!!
I’m getting a very odd problem along these lines now. When I view a thread, sometimes it’s not marking it viewed! The “new posts” icon is staying there, even though I’ve read everything that’s posted in that thread. Even if I go and come back a few minutes later.
This is weird.
Oh, good. I thought it was just me. I have that too. I read the last post and I think, haven’t I read that before?
Did you refresh your screen after viewing the post? On some computers I need to actually do a refresh before the status of the post changes (i.e., changes from “unread” to “read”), while on other computers it refreshes automatically when I go back to the previous page.
Well, I read the threads I wanted to read and left the site. Then I came back later and the threads I left still showed as unread. I suppose more people could have posted on them, but it seemed odd.

Not only did I refresh, I clicked the “mark all posts as read,” saw that they WERE ALL MARKED AS READ, left, came BACK, refreshed again, and THEY WERE MARKED AS HAVING NEW POSTS! And they didn’t!
