Every time I log into the forum and click on the "new post" button I get the the following message
"
Sorry, there are no new threads to view.
You may search for threads updated during the previous 24 hours, here.
"
But when I go into the Last 24 hour post there are lots of new ones???
Your post is receiving attention!
Is that there under new posts?
G'day Nev,
Can you give us some details to work on??
How long has the problem existed?
Have you done any "cookie clearing" lately??
What browser are you using??
Can't think of any other questions??
Thanks
Interesting thing is it doesn't happen every time
I'm using IE6
And I deleted all the cookies thinking that this was the problem but it didn't fix it
Does the same thing happen (sometimes) on email notifications?
Nope it only happens on this forum and http://www.austech.info/ forumQuote:

You may not be leaving the forums long enough to refresh the page.
The forums have been set to refresh the database every 2 hours I think. If you are on at 8.00 AM and leave at 9.30 AM but return at 9.45AM the time at the top right hand corner will say that you last visited at 8.00 AM and does not record any new posts in that time because it thinks you are still here.
If however you don't return until 3.00PM the new posts should show up.
Hope that makes sense.
More going on than that, I think. When I hit "New Posts" the software reports "Search results" and it's pretty much up to the minute. If I post a reply, then hit "New Posts," my post is near the top of the list, or below any that were posted in the interim. [** ]
Conversely, if I hit "Today's Posts" before logging in, the list often is headed with something like "The following posts have not been updated since your last visit" even though there really are new posts after I'd logged out. When I last logged out, the message "All cookies cleared" appeared, but I suspect it isn't completely true, and manually clearing the cache as Noel suggests might not be a bad idea.
This software (VBulletin) has enough versions/options/variables to challenge a PhD in computer science. I think there's a forum for VBulletin itself. Some of these weird questions might be addressed there.
[** Like just now.]

Well its 10.25AM and I was last on at 1.00AM and there are no new posts????Quote:

Good to see you posting again Neil :2tsup:
Pending there has been new posts since you last log in
It is more than likely your session cookie isn't receiving its updated visit time.
This can be that
a: you have your browser security too high
b: your firewall is too high and the WW server cant see it or update the session time in the cookie
c: your session cookie is being persistent and not updating
Turn off your firewall
Hit default in browser security
Turn on allow cookies to be set especially if it particular to your firewall to
Allow: https://www.woodworkforums.com
Do a test to see if it updates?
and another if there is a domain shift to "new posts" which redirects to the sub domain I think it was woodworkforums.ubeaut.com ?
Last 24 hours post doesn't use the session cookie. It pulls the time variable from the forum MySql database
Sage advice but if all has been going well prior with all these settings as above what then.Quote:

Try lowering the setting on your firewall , or add this site to your accepted sites, or switching off your firewall just while you log in next time with the remember me box ticked :2tsup:
