    Weird, for a short while pages wouldn't load, now I'm being brought back about a week when I click on "bring to first unread in thread".

    Some kind of glitch?

    I thought it was just me. Started happening about 30 mins ago, although I had no problem with pages loading before that.

    Yup same here.

    If you click "mark forums read" it sorts itself out.

    After doing this and navigating away, my subbed list still tells me that there are unread posts in the forum.

    Marking All Read on http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/index.php will sort that, or did for me anyway.

    nope. we find that kind of thing mildly entertaining. Hilarious is when we get asked to fix some stranger's (usually a taxi driver) PC with only the sketchy description of "it's slower than it was before" to go on before the stranger answers "I dont know, I'm not techie" to every subsequent question :)

    on topic, threads are appearing as unread for me too but the subbed list is not showing any new posts, you'd think one would result in the other....

    My subbed list is working fine. New posts in threads aren't though. I got an alert for a post in a thread that was posted yesterday but somehow it says it was posted at 12.38 today. :confused:

    As a side note normally when type something into the search tab it comes up again next time that search is performing. Not happening.

    This is getting very worrying. A lot of stuff happening here. Can someone update us on what exactly is going on.

    The method of calculating how threads are read was changed which has the unfortunate side-effect of forgetting your thread read status.

    The reason for change is a little obscure, and I don't have time to write up the details right now, but the short version is: this will resolve itself over the next while as vBulletin re-learns what you have and haven't read.

    What "stuff"?

    Are the Development guys supposed to be psychic? Can you not elaborate on your worries?

    Christ almighty.

    It's not resolving itself in the usual way but, this may be part of the change to the system. None of the threads I'm reading are updating and generally when I log out, it's marks everything as read for me but, that didn't happen either!

    Anyway, I'm sure it's only a minor thing, hopefully it'll be back up again soon and working better than previously.

    Obviously 'Conor' is an Estonian cyberpirate who has taken all your read-post details for nefarious use. And is stealing the credit card numbers of anyone who posts in this thread.
