'View New Posts' not working properly?

#1 Post by RuZty » Mon Aug 15, 2016 1:42 pm

I usually click on View New Posts when I come here so I see everything since my last visit. Recently this has started showing the new ones, but also all the ones that haven't changed since the last time it showed me the new ones, so the list gets bigger each visit unless I log out and back in. The only thing that has changed on my end is that I upgraded my mac to El Capitan, but the same issue doesn't occur on the 350 board. Just me or is anyone else seeing this?

When you say recently, when did it start happening?

I have found something "interesting".

Ruzty posted this topic:
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 2:42 am
Yet in his profile, the last visitied time is:
Last visited: Fri Aug 12, 2016 6:57 am

My "Last visited" time has updated properly.
Toms also looks fine.
Bollys does not look fine.
Speed Freak does not look fine.
tacky1 looks fine - but may not have at the time he posted here

I wonder if there was some temporary issue?
tacky1 can you confirm that it's working OK for you now?

Funny, now my last visited shows Aug 11 at 3:57 pm. Awesome!, if I can get this happening a bit faster I might actually get everything done!
The current time in the opposite corner of the header is an hour behind my computer time, which is correct.

Ok, so apparently there's two ways to fix this.
Either the affected users log out and back in manually, or I purge the entire session table in the database.
I chose the latter, so it should be fixed, but some people may be asked to log in the first time, instead of auto logging in like normal.

For future reference Tom it's on the main page of the ACP "Purge all sessions".

Ruzty, the servers time is updated automatically via NTP, so it's always right.
If your time is not showing properly, check the timezone settings in your profile.

http://www.rzrd500.com/500phpBB3/ucp.php?i=174" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Since it's out by an hour, I would guess it's a daylight savings issue.
Check the setting "Summer Time/DST is in effect:"

Bingo. You're a lot more helpful than the Indian gentleman that called last night night from the 'Windows Support Team' to help me solve the virus problem on my computer. That one didn't end in kind words.
