New Post Indicators

aimbuddy: when i first come to fate forums, the "New Post" checkmarks are blue, and theres the little "New message" indicator with the forum I'm looking at

aimbuddy: but when I go back to the main Forum, all the posts are marked as read
-------------------

Everyone that visits my site has this issue. The new message markers act very funny. Is there an update or fix for this?

Thanks again,

Lithium

Go into the forum's admin section and make sure the cookie name is unique, if your site was www.lithium.com name the cookie lithium, also check the session limit time, it should be at least 3600, last make sure your browser is set to accept cookies.

I have cookie domain set to clan-fate.com.

Cookie name was hte default phpmysql (?), but is now just 'fate.'

Cookie path is /

Session Length is 3600 seconds.

My cookies are on, however I deleted my cookies and now none of the posts are showing as new. I'll keep and eye on the board and indicators and see how they are doing....

Thanks for your help.

I still haven't had any luck. Cookie settings seem to be ok however myself and several users are noticing the indicators are not working correctly. The forum will be marked as new when you first visit them, however, after reading one thread they go back the read status. Can anyone help some more on this one? Confused
