Everything marked read

[Staffan]

Occasionally when I hit the main forum page, it has already marked everything as read, despite me not having been at the board for a few hours (and there being plenty of messages newer than my last visit, especially in the General RPG forum). Does anyone know why this would happen?

Having same problem

Just signed onto the boards, and everything has been marked read. When I look at the last time I logged onto the boards, it shows 1 minute before the time I actually logged on (ie I logged on at 4:31 CST and the forum shows I last visited at 4:30 CST). Any ideas?

I'm getting something similar.

I logged in, and the main forums page says there are new posts in Meta, the Sci-fi Forum, in Genreal Discussion, etc. But when I actually look at each forum, all threads are marked as read.

This has only happened occasionally to me, though. It isn't a regular thing. Also, it's not showing my last login as beign close to the present time. Not a big deal, but I figured I'd report what I saw.

Interesting - it's not happening for me.

Still, the final server move is later this week, so hopefully that will help iron out any of the wrinkles.

I have noticed that the "mark everything read" problem appears more often when I go here via the main ENWorld site rather than using the ENWorld boards bookmark. I have no idea what that means, though.

I just noticed that some of the images on ENWorld are stored on the cyberstreet server rather than the ENWorld server - perhaps that messes with the cookies somewhat which makes the board think I've been to them more recently than I have? I'll see if I can include the images in this post:

Hmm... seems only the OGL Interlock image worked. The other two are also on the June 5th entry, one serves as a link to the Ennies and the other to WOTC.
