Is the new post tracking busted for everyone? It seems to be behaving crazily here and I can't figure out why.

It's working from here. It was behaving a bit strange a few days ago, but now it is fine.

Hmm, it's not working here as it should. Insanity!

It's been a problem for me. It seems to be randomly deciding that I've never visited the forums.

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

Stop that, you'll go blind!

So why do you want me to stop?

SHUT UP!
JUST SHUT UP!

This has happened to me twice in the past week, I think on different computers, the second time being just a few minutes ago.

How long does it last for?

I assume this never happened before the last host switch, did it?

I've been having this problem since the new site came up. Or rather, it was telling me that all forum messages were new, even if I had just viewed them. Then I found that I couldn't log out. So I deleted my cookie, logged in, and all is well with post tracking and everything.

I'd give that a shot.

I don't remember it happening before the host switch.

The first time it happened to me, it was like my cookie was deleted. In fact, I think I had to log back in, so maybe my cookie *was* deleted, but I know I didn't do it.

The second time, earlier today, every forum was showing up with a star, even those that didn't have new posts. At first it was just like I'd never visited the forums. Then I started visiting forums, and after a while it got back to where only a few threads had stars -- except it wasn't accurate. All the threads I had visited this morning were still marked as unvisited, even when they didn't have new posts.

The source of the problem when we first moved over to this tasty, tasty rackshack server was that if you didn't include the trailing slash in a URL, such as:

http://www.stripcreator.com/forums

instead of:

http://www.stripcreator.com/forums/

You'd get forwarded to:

http://stripcreator.com/forums/

And as far as the browser is concerned, www.stripcreator.com and stripcreator.com are two different sites that have two different cookies (stripcreator[1], [2], etc). We fixed the forwarding error so that now it just adds the slash and everything is more or less fine.

The other day I encountered the same problem on another site I've been working on and we had to configure it properly there as well. So I'm not totally convinced that there aren't other circumstances where this craziness could happen. I haven't had it happen on stripcreator.com since that issue was fixed though. (But admittedly I pretty much just hang out in the forums.)

Do you go through any sort of proxy to get to the web? The front page does very little with cookies, so I'm not even convinced that that cookie insanity would be causing that problem.

I'm not sure. I would guess that I don't, but I could be wrong.

The same thing is happening today. It looks as if all threads that had new posts as of sometime Monday morning are still being marked as new. My system clock seems fine, if that's at all relevant.

If no one else is experiencing this problem, don't worry about it. It's not a huge inconvenience and I don't have a lot of time to spend troubleshooting it at the moment.

Hmm, yeah, yesterday when I used my PC at home every thread got flagged with a star. I hadn't logged out or anything.

It happens to me all the time. At first it was probably my fault. But then Uncle DexX explained to me what happens when I delete my cookies. : )
However, it's still happening even with my cookie.

I want to delete several cookies and a large glass of milk. Yum!

Could I just point out that I haven't had any trouble at all with new post tracking since all the major bugs were ironed out after the move? I had some earlier, but after the backslashes were fixed I had no more problems.

Ah, kaufman. I don't know whether to add you to my favorites list twice or set fire to what remains of your house, you magnificent bastard.
