Read Threads Reset?

rpgdemon · 05-10-2011, 01:15 AM

Is anyone else noticing, since the change in servers, that already read threads are resetting themselves to be seen as unread with alarming frequency?

Normally when I double click on the icon to mark the forum as read, it stays that way, but recently, I've had the entire forum light up green, saying that old posts were new, and even having the little arrow to bring you to the beginning of the old-new posts, as if you'd never seen them before.

When the server resets, the internal clock changes, which screws everything up. As the clock is changed back to the correct time, things are screwed up all over again.

I would recommend logging out and back in to reset your cookie, or delete the cookie outright and start anew. This should fix your issue.

After clearing cookies and such, it's still happening. I dunno if it's just me, but I figured it's worth mentioning.

Have you tried turning it off and then on again?

Is it currently plugged in.

Okay, so, I have this blinking green light, I'm not sure what it means. The label says something like, "New Pot Roast?" I don't know what a "Poast" is. I've tried using my typewriter to respond to it, but then the lights all start jumping around on the screen, and nothing happens. Everytime I hit space, especially. And sometimes I'll start looking at a completely different foldout of lights, which doesn't say anything about it's power source.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
