Deleting pages of new posts

Post by Ice_Pick_Abortions » Tue Aug 26, 2008 5:06 pm

When i come on i click the "View new posts" link but for some reason, they're not clearing after each visit. i'm still getting threads that were last updated days ago and it's getting rather annoying trying to see which ones i've already looked at. i've tried marking all forums read and i'd rather not have to log in and out each time i come on here. anyone have any suggestions?

Man, I lied. What is good old fashioned obsessing for?

Okay, here's the answer:
That list is based off updating your last login time -- I believe it's updated whenever you've been inactive for more than the defined session length.
Our session length was set to 7 days after users complained about getting logged out in the middle of a session.

So what I did, was set the session time to 2.5 hours. So, it should fix it for you. If 2.5 hours isnt long enough for some of you let me know and we'll need to come to a reasonable compromise between the two.

Cheers!
