Annoying!

I don’t really care that much but is getting annoying. Sometimes it says on the Portal page that I have x amount of new posts. I click on the new posts link and nothings there. It is getting kind of annoying

If you click on new posts it will take you to another page which lists new posts by thread. Most of the time it will be threads in the off-topic forum. Those ones don’t appear on the main page.

Are you talking about when you have read all of the new posts and then you go back to the portal page and it says that there are 1-7 “new posts” still left? I get this all the time. It used to tick me off, but I got used to it.

yah except sometimes it happens the next day, as i said i dont care much it’s just getting a little annoying

I haven’t had it happen the next day, but mine will stay like that for the rest of the day.

The Chit-Chat forum does not apear on the Portal Page, but it does in the New posts link. Chit-Chat is the only one that I know of that is like that on this site…

Remember, after you press the back button, your browser does not automatically refresh the page. You’ve read all the new posts, and then press the back button, it still says how many new posts before you read them all, press the refresh button and the new post counter will reset to zero.

It doesn’t always reset. I’ve pressed the refresh button a couple of times and it says there is one or two new posts, but when i go to read them there aren’t any there.

yah this is what happens to me

Click the Refresh Button on your Browser… That should get the number correct… If you see un-read messages, but there are none showing un-read on the Portal Page, they likely to be Chit-Chat, which will show on the Search for un-read messages.
