CloseWhen I am on campus at my university I use my laptop quite frequently. When I am bored I may come here. Whenever I do, the posts do not update with my login, as in, a topic I already read on one computer is marked unread on this laptop, making me believe I never read it since. When I do read it, I end up reading what I already read with nothing new added. Making it hard to discern what was already posted or not.
I think cookies are to blame, but other forum sites do not do this. Shouldn't your account save a timestamp of when you were last active, and then using that to compare recently added posts in topics?
(If it does store a timestamp, both computers have equal time, I just checked).

Forums typically save the read status for users on a per topic basis. The forums here do not do this, however, and instead try to use various times to try and figure out what are new or not.
It hasn't worked ENTIRELY well so I need to keep working on it.

It doesn't take too long anyway to just check in on any topics you've been following to see if there have been any new posts.
post=120744Yeah, that's my view on it.

As far as this issue goes, it's pretty low on the priority list.
Now I would definitely like to find a straightforward way to fix this, but we'll have to see further down the road.

Don't worry too much WIP, it's not necessarily a high priority.
Just ask yourself the question: How do other forums do this? And perhaps with some thought you can come up with a solution.
