Unread Topics links not working properly

[Pand]

There are two issues that seem to be happening with the forum:

1.  When I click on "Show unread posts since last visit."


It will say there have been no unread topics since last visit (even though it may have been 24 hours since I have last checked); however, if I leave the browser open for a few minutes, click it again, I can see new posts since I last clicked the link (a few minutes before) as it will show me one or two posts.

2.  When I click "Show unread posts since last visit" it will tell me there have been no unread topics since last visit.  


So I click the "Click here to try all unread topics" link.


It also tells me there are "no messages".


Even though I can clearly see there are many unread topics in each board:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Do you visit the forums from different browsers/computers? It might be cookie related...if they use cookies to keep track of what you've read.

Thanks for the response!   

I do, but didn't change computers for this instance.   Last night I had read the forum, then maybe 12 hours later, used the same machine to visit the forum again.

One possibility.  If you login and hit the link too quick, it will not have populated the cookie data so it will show no posts to read.

It happens to me as I have access to all the forums, so there is much more for the server to check.

That didn't seem to matter.  I had also cleared my cookies.   I just did my first log in of the day ---- waited a few minutes, and then clicked unread posts since last vist.  Said none.

Then I tried the 'all unread posts' link... and showed no messages also.

Any ideas or is there someone who hosts your forum that can help?

i get similar results. click on show unread posts and i get 1 or 2 results even though most of the forums indicate there are posts i haven't looked at. while in the show unread posts screen if i click on mark all as read, 1 post will sit there and show as unread and when i go back to the main forum view, all forums indicate no unread posts.
