only seems to affect a couple of folks, but us too!
You found a solution some days ago, did it work?
Cheers

I think I said I might have worked out the issue and at the moment it is still under test plus I have no way of knowing whether it will change anything on your forum which, to date, is the only one that has raised this issue. But whatever ends up happening it will be in the next update if all tests out OK.

And when will the next update be ready for release do you think?
P.S.
By the way, dont forget to tell me when you dont need to access the ftp server any longer.
On the first question I can’t say at the moment. We have several things in the air still in testing and until that all pans out we cant make final plans
You can probably remove the admin account I used now. If we need it again then – well – we will have to start again!.

I understand that you guys do your very best and i really appricate all efforts made to solve my issues, but your words really made me sad since i experinced this issue during five month now.
Maybe there is a way to hide the list for guest, but still being visable when logged in as a member?
sad, yes, but you are still the only one that has experienced it… that makes it quite difficult to pinpoint when 10’s of thousands of users dont have the problem… so fingers are crossed…
to save me going back through 7 pages, what do you want to hide? sorry, 3 different lists… but should be possible…

The only remaining issue is related to the Unread and recently updated topics below the forum.
When logged in as a member, the list working as intended.
When visiting my site as a guest, the list exludes many of the forums and show the Unread and recently updated topics from only a few forums. It´s not related to forum permissions either, since the forums that are not listed, actually are completely open and readable to guests.
If it´s possible to hide the list for guests, but make it visiable for members only, it would solve the entire problem.
open your spGroupView.php template file… near the bottom, find this code:
sp_RecentPostList(‘show=10’, __sp(‘Unread and recently updated topics’));
replace it with
if ($spThisUser->member) {
sp_RecentPostList(‘show=10’, __sp(‘Unread and recently updated topics’));
}
and it will only show for logged in users…
I think this is happening to me, too.
I have tested adding a new post as admin and as a regular member.
The new post as a member doesn’t change the new post count for anyone, except the admin bar. (Stays at 0.)
The new post as admin doesn’t change the new post count for anyone. (Stays at 0.)
I would be happy to give you admin access to my forum to troubleshoot this.
Also, my forum was just converted from a vbulletin forum — perhaps a residual effect? Everything seems to be working fine except this (and one other thing — moderators are not displaying on the forum pages). I am new to SP though, so I could be missing something. I read the docs on this feature and I read this entire thread before posting here.
Thank you!
to be clear and make sure it is or is not related to your other posts, whats not changing? are we talking stats or the unread posts?
also, its a bit dated, but please read: http://wiki.simple-press.com/faq-answers/understand-unread-post-lists/
to understand how the unread posts work… its new post since session… so after they log out or timeout current session…
The drop-down list of Recently Updated topics is not being updated for the member.
The phrase “__ topics with unread posts” stays at 0 for the member.
I read that documentation earlier, which is why I tested this by posting as admin and then logging in as a test user who was already logged out before the test account. And vice versa. I guess I could have missed something…
So, I just went through multiple tests again and what I found was that the drop down list and the unread post count was accurate for the admin. But on the test member… no. I logged out as member. Admin added a post. Member logged in. No change. Repeated three more times. No change in post count or drop down list.
Thanks.
going to have to let Andy jump in at this point… he has been dealing with the singular issue we had on this… he has made some changes to new post handling in dev version, but since we cannot duplicate this singular issue – well two if its the same, makes it hard…
