Topic: Show new posts since last visit question

When I come back to this forum after a previous visit,  I use the "shows new post since last visit" link to view all the new posts.  Once I view one of th new post, and post a reply, etc.  then go back to "Show new posts since last visit"  All the new posts are gone, and the only new post is the one I just replied to.  Is this the way things are intended to be?  If so,  it does not seem right.  I would like to be able to go through the new posts one at a time during my visit.  I dont remember 1.1.5 acting like this. In fact I used to have to click on the "mark all posts as read" link to get rid of the new posts notification.

Odd. That never happens to me. Are you sure you're just not taking more than 10 minutes to write a post? If you do, you time out and the next time you view a page, PunBB will count it as a new visit.

Re: Show new posts since last visit question

I was wondering what the setting for this site was.  It may be that I am taking more than ten minutes when I reply while at work.  damn phones. wink
