identifying new posts

Hi - I leave my account always logged in so that when I open the homepage threads with new posts are highlighted with a red 'new' that I can click on to take me to the most recent unread post, but quite often all threads show as 'new' taking me back to the very first post on a thread suggesting that my site 'history' has been deleted


I know that this will happen if I clear my browsing history, but it also happens at other times when I haven't cleared the history - does anyone know why?

When someone posts a message in the wrong section e.g "Builder wanted" in the ED Issues/gossip section I have to move it, I think that action sometimes causes an error in the system that makes the "new" not work sometimes, or be reset. So it is not you it is me.


There are about 13,000 registered users and about 430,000 messages, the system that runs the forum has to know which threads are new for each of those users, which individual messages are new to each user and provide a link to the newest message for each post, that is quite a lot of database records. It is so big that we do not want to try and work out what the problem is because we may break it, so unfortunately it is a minor inconvenience that we are stuck with.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
