Sub forum icons

Hi guys,

I have a issue with the sub forum icons. They do not change when there is a new thread/post. As image nr2 shows, i have red icons that should be visable when a new post is added.

It´s working as intended in the forums, but not in the sub forums.

I know the group view was working since that capability was only added a view versions ago…  will have to see if something got knocked….

for the forum view page, what happens if you go into the subforum and view the list of topics, ie Guider..  do they show up properly then?

Hi Steve,

Just want to add that i did run a few tests with a 100% fresh installation of SP at my test site, and it´s working as intended. So the problem seem to be related to the forum at my Gaming Community: http://friskyttarna.eu

Could you take a look if i email login credentials to you?

even more odd…  just this one site?  no caching plugins?

sure if you want to pm me some credentials, I can take a look though not sure what I can tell…  I have opened a ticket for investigation, but with Andy on vacation for a couple of weeks, in depth investigations are a slower than normal…

Yes it only happens at my main site.

But there is a big difference between my test and main site. The later is 3-4 years old and once started out with SP 4.x and are upgraded many times during those years. The test forum is a fresh installation with the latest SP version.

Both sites are however using identical WP version and framework.

No, i am not using any chache plugins. I am actually not using that many plugins since i am trying to keep it at a minimum.

You got a pm.

No problem, take the time you need.

It would mean a lot if you can get the forum icons to work as intended.

I had hoped today, but I am not feeling well… running a slight fever… bad timing of course… hopefully back in the saddle tomorrow or this weekend for in depth research like this…

Hi Steve,

Just a thought!

Maybe this issue some how is related to my other issue with members not being able to delete their own posts?

MP Mr Papa

I doubt it.  but one never knows…  A couple of versions ago, we changed how delete works to use ajax instead of a page reload.  I am guessing with that, for users deleting their own post, we knocked it with the ajax changed…

feeling better today, so need to get up, but will try looking into the icons this weekend.. but a bit concerned that it worked right for you on a second test site…  that means it is something with the set up.

Yes that worries me.

When the subforum icons do not work as intended, you realize how much they actualy mean to give the users a smooth experince. The icons and the delete post issue, realy trubles me.

I hope you guys can help me to solve it.

I ran  a quick test this morning and it did not exhibit the problem…   so I need to try changing some config options and see if I can make it happen…

was your test setup a different config than the live site? db copy?

Hi Steve,
