"Unread" Postings

[tidybooks]

Logged back in 20:00, 3 pages (216 topics), earliest post today at 09:28am.

So I think a Unread Topics is reset, if you are logged off between 7:00pm and 8:00pm GMT, they seem to be reset to a point approx 11 hours behind present time. If you are not logged off in that period, the reset is missed and you just accumulate topics.

Now this is odd as earlier this afternoon I had 3 pages and the oldest post was earlier today (not sure of times). I now find that I have 8 pages and the earliest post is 01.51 yesterday. It fits somewhat with Tom's theory as I was on between 7 and 8 this evening.

It all seems very weird

Hi brevitas,

It is good to get confirmation from others that you were logged in during 7:00pm to 8:00pm and your posts are increasing.

Not sure now, Tom    I've just logged off and closed my browser and I've now come back on and it's down to 4 pages and oldest post is 08.58 today so I think it might well be cache/cookies or something like that.

I never log out unless forced to do so by some "misadventure" with the computer.  My "unread postings" seem to have adjusted themselves anyway and I'm definitely back to a normal number (about 4 pages coming together overnight).

Just logged on again after a couple of hours or so and closed browser. Now down to 3 pages and oldest post is 18.55 yesterday. I'm now thinking that it must be something to do with clearing the cache when exiting browser rather than just an internal RC/prog  problem
