Is there a timing error on the server guys? I notice that threads I've read do not appear as 'read' when I renew/load the page. It does when I use the 'mark all forums read' link on the forum index page, but not elsewhere... Doesn't matter if I change the time settings in my profile to GMT, GMT+1 or GMT+2, the issue remains... But it's a minor nuisance, compared to other ongoing issues

Good catch.

I've just fixed it now, and installed NTP so things shouldn't get so out of whack again.

Cheers,

Jon

Equally, I should have asked... other on going issues?

Mind that one needs to manually adjust the forum time in your profile for 'daylight-saving hours' (or whatever they call it at your place

)

Time is about an hour ahead.

post time on server 17:09, time on my PC 16:04

Case in point: I replied to RAM, and my reply came ahead of his question... :roll:

So who am I answering now...

Server time and PC time now match.

And no DM I have not alerted my profile

Sorry folks, but it's not fixed yet! My replies to threads remain marked as 'unread', even though I posted them myself!

[edit: even this message is marked as 'new' for me...
