New Message notification

[Scott Dyer HPN/NY]

Scott: Can you confirm this is happening even after you have read the message and exited via the forum index? Sig II also left lit icons if messages were dismissed via other methods.

Mike - Not sure what you mean by exiting the forum index. After I’ve read the last new message I log out. That could be from the index page or a message page. Up until today the logging out cleared all the blue bubbles (except for the Hot Section, where I go not, and I did see some of this behavior with the In Memoriam messages as well...flagged as new although I’d read ‘em.).

The ones in the right column. Sometimes it's empty, but if I browse the rest of the page I can tell by the dates there are new ones.

Ralph: Do you have the forum open in a tab during the period where you see this behavior, or are you missing this message summary upon a new login or visit?

[Mike Overly]

Yes. And it's continuing this afternoon.

Ralph: Are you referring to the same notification "bubbles" per above or the filter of new message summaries in the right column?

The ones in the right column. Sometimes it's empty, but if I browse the rest of the page I can tell by the dates there are new ones.

I haven't noticed any issues, but then by habit, I always go back to the section after reading a thread to make sure there's nothing more before moving back to the top. I know some forums tended to act wonky if you just jumped from the thread back to the top. Which probably explains how I developed that habit.

Are you guys deleting cookies?

No, and without problem. This issue came up today in the first instance that I've seen. Deleting cookies each time would be PITA.

I haven't noticed this behavior yet. Are you visiting from the same device and browser?

Yes. And it's continuing this afternoon.

Scott: I logged in with a test ID I haven't used in awhile and I think I see the issue. This software leaves the unread forum message notification icon lit like Sig II did if you leave a message without indexing out of its parent section -- I *think* that's what you're seeing.

Mike, I've noticed the converse: no new msg notifications when there are new ones.

Mike -- This morning, when I log into Avsig, a number of sections indicate that there are new messages in them (the filled in blue quote bubble) when in fact there are not. I haven't seen this before, scanning for the blue bubble has been an effective way to get to new messages in the sections in which they appear. The "bogus" message notifications don't show up in the new messages since list visit log on the right side of the screen.

In the picture below, you'll see the blue bubbles but with the most recent messages being weeks ago. Ignore the sections with no blue bubble but with messages from today...I've read those so they wouldn't trigger the blue bubble icon.
