One small bug not a very big deal, but why do I have to log in twice?
It's not really a bug, but I do have a question. At this moment (Sunday, June 15, 2008, 5:45 p.m.), the topic "Cindy Wilson for County Council Chair" shows 29 posts but only 20 views.
I've long suspected that some of our members are either blind, or they're posting with their eyes closed. Is this proof of those suspicions, or am I misreading the "replies" vs. "views" stats?

I believe the reason for the difference is...
This topic started prior to the change over, and the view count started with the NEW version.
Hope I am right, if not I just AGAIN stuck my foot in my mouth.
sounds right to me
i think that's odd, too. I have no idea.
Noeline it looks like it wants you to use your e-mail to log in but if you do that you just need to re-log in. Try putting your user name in that sign in box instead of your e-mail and you should just have to log in once.

On the LOCAL ISSUES
After entering the site local issues the topics with new post are not highlighted in blue.
to see if there have been any additional post you have to either remember the last time you visited a particular topic or click it and read.
All other topics highlight in blue and I am able to know what is a new post.
Not a bug, but a suggestion... it would be nice to be able to mark posts as read and only display the posts that are unread when you log in. Some topics are hard to follow as the posts are not in order from newest to oldest, or even oldest to newest. If a user replies to a post in the middle of the thread you may not see it. I find myself using the "recent posts" on the right side of the page and scrolling the "older" until I find the last post I remember reading and read from the bottom up.
I've found myself doing that, too. From my understanding, the word "new" shows up on any new posts anywhere in the thread if you haven't read that page. I'll pass on your thoughts
Hi, I'm here to help with any issue on the forum software, and just want to confirm some issues you're having.
When you view this page: http://www.thecocklebur.net/forum/category/all/page1/
It seems that the highlighted new topics isn't always displayed correctly. Is anybody else having this issue?
Here's an example of how new replies should highlight a topic:
I assume you're talking about this page:
http://www.thecocklebur.net/forum/
When the red 'new' doesn't disappear, have you just clicked through the category, to the topic listing, or have you clicked all the way through to the individual topics and their posts?
Posts can be 'threaded' where a person can respond inline to a topic (not just at the end). This can be confusing compared to a flat listing of posts like your previous forum.
To clear up that confusion, we highlight the time and insert a 'new' icon onto replies that are new since your last visit, this is a screenshot:
Also, you might need to click 'Refresh' on the page for it to update the 'new' icons. If you just click back/forward, your browser may not show the latest update.
Yes, I noticed that; however, some of these threads are REALLY long, like the one about Adams v Drawdy. It goes on and on and on! You have to scroll through all the posts to pick out the new ones. That's why it would be nice to be able to only view posts you haven't read.
Can't view threads with large number of topics. >100 won't open.. times out.
Using ie 7 and ff 2 on high bandwidth connection, 5 GB ram, 2.6 mhz dual core. Win 2K3 OS...
Cleared history and cache and still won't load.

Thanks for the help, let me explain what happens.
From http://www.thecocklebur.net/forum/ "Elections"
showsNEW highlighted in blue beside the number 67 to the right. I click Elections there is no topics highlighted, all are black. There is no way to tell what has been read or what is new with exception to the timestamp. I don't always remember when I last read a topic. This only happens in ELECTIONS for me. I also noticed when the software first came online the FAQ page lit up in blue with a new entry, now it does not. I am using IE 6 or 7
tried refresh restart etc. no change.
Thanks
