Chaos he/him Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Might be impractical to do. We will see in the new version. The way it checks if certain things are unread is strange and I don't like to break things I don't understand. (This is a good reason as to why I try to avoid giving new subforums.)
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 The way it checks if certain things are unread is strange I can believe that. I've noticed that older threads just one day decide to up and mark themselves as completely read even if I've never touched them.
little wilson she/her Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I can believe that. I've noticed that older threads just one day decide to up and mark themselves as completely read even if I've never touched them. I haven't had that happen, but what I have had happen is a thread with a couple new posts in it that I need to read marks itself as read while I'm catching up on another thread in the same forum. This usually happens in the SE subforum when I'm on mobile. There will be new posts in in 2-4 threads, and I'll click on one to read those new posts and when I go back to the subforum page, all threads have been marked as read, even though I know I haven't read them all. It's so weird. And slightly annoying.
Stormgate he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Anyone else get it where a thread is marked unread, even though you know you read it? I get that a lot, especially lately. 1
Haelbarde he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Anyone else get it where a thread is marked unread, even though you know you read it? I get that a lot, especially lately. Did they have polls in it? An annoying about polls is that if someone adds their vote, it marks the thread as unread (as far as I can tell). The other thing is if you have a post in a spoiler subforum, it sometimes gives the latest unread post in the main forum instead, I think.
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I haven't had that happen, but what I have had happen is a thread with a couple new posts in it that I need to read marks itself as read while I'm catching up on another thread in the same forum.

It's so weird. And slightly annoying. Huh. And here I thought what I was experiencing was just normal forum shenanigans. I think I've gotten too many "functions as designed" responses from the tech folks at work... No polls. Just phantom unreads. It'll also do that if the thread is moved, but that's rare. Weird.
Rubix he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Honestly, we'll look at it once we've deployed the new software. 2
Stormgate he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Honestly, we'll look at it once we've deployed the new software. Thank you very much.
Chaos he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Going to be totally honest: some things like that may not be fixable, but we would definitely look into it! 1
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 When is the new software going up?
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Going to be totally honest: some things like that may not be fixable, but we would definitely look into it! *singing* 99 little bugs in the code 99 bugs in the code Take one down Patch it around ... 117 little bugs in the code 9
Chaos he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 When is the new software going up? That's a great question. Soon 2
Mailliw73 he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 That's a great question. Soon That translates to "before Nightblood comes out". 1
Rubix he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 That translates to "before Nightblood comes out". Sooner than that.
Young Bard he/him Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Sooner than that. Sooner than soon. So... soon. Got it.
Rubix he/him Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Sooner than soon. So... soon. Got it. That implies that Nightblood is going to be soon... *sobs uncontrollably* 4
Young Bard he/him Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 That implies that Nightblood is going to be soon... *sobs uncontrollably* Hey, at least you're a beta reader. We all have to wait even longer than you do.
Stormgate he/him Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Hey, at least you're a beta reader. We all have to wait even longer than you do. Rubix is a beta? That explains why he doesn't often post on theory threads: too much risk of spoilers.
Young Bard he/him Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Rubix is a beta? That explains why he doesn't often post on theory threads: too much risk of spoilers. I believe all head admins are betas. Possibly the regular admins as well. I don't know. Edited January 2, 2016 by The Young Bard
Rubix he/him Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Hey, at least you're a beta reader. We all have to wait even longer than you do. Brandon has said in the past that he's going to do with Nightblood what he did with Warbreaker, and post it up as he writes it, chapter by chapter. So if that stays true, I'll be getting it the same time you do. Rubix is a beta? That explains why he doesn't often post on theory threads: too much risk of spoilers. I don't post much anywhere these days. This is a factor, however.
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Hey, at least you're a beta reader. We all have to wait even longer than you do. It actually makes it worse. We can't talk to anyone except a small pool of people, have to wait even longer to get the resolution, and can't even hint at what we know. (Though, one on the plus side: It's fun to watch people react, since we know it's coming.) 2
Zathoth Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I remember the 5 days I had to wait to talk about Shadows of Self.... they were horrible XD I am curious, how much more do you know than we do? Dont go into details or anything, I want to read the books on my own, I am just curious how many books ahead you are.
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Typically we're only a few of months ahead of where everyone else is by way of the book we've read. 1
