Not because of this issue specifically but because you're less likely to contract viruses, spyware and have your info phished, etc.. using Firefox. Outside of work my friends and family hound me to fix their computers. The first thing I tell them is if your gonna use Windows stop using IE. I prefer Firefox, but you can use Opera too.

I haven't tested IE 7 yet, well and probbaly never will, but that too is available these days. That might correct the issue too. IE 7 is the first substantial upgrade MS has made to their browser in 4 years or so other than patching security vulnerabilities.

If nothing else you IE users can step into the 21st century and enjoy tabbed browsing.

Thank You......I'll have to look into that......Enjoy your vacation!!!!!

Having trouble using the 'first unread post' button in threads. It only takes me to the first post, whether I've read them all before or not...

Not sure if it's an IE7 thing...

It does the same for me on Mozilla/Firefox, and on both WinXP and Win2000 --- but if it's a really long and old thread I randomly wind up somewhere back in October or November.

Maybe this is BP's way of telling us all to get away from Bill?

When I subscribe to threads I usually select the "instant notification by email" option. When I receive a notification email, it usually states something like:

"Dear backagain1,

However, for the last couple of weeks the links in the email take me to the middle of the thread, rather than to the new post. The links used to work fine, taking me to the post of which I'm being notified. Now, however, they take to to the middle of the thread.

Any suggestions on how I can remedy the problem?

Thanks,

I am having just the same problem. Would be nice if it could be fixed.

I should say that I am using Firefox on WinXP.

I should have mentioned that I'm using Internet Explorer 6, on a Windows XP machine. Apparently, based on the other posts here, the problem occurs with a variety of browsers.

I'm having the same trouble with the "view first unread" link, too.

Also, is there any way to adjust the timing of my last visit to the forum? For example, if I'm on the forum and I have to let the computer sit idle for a while (not sure how long), when I return, it'll tell me my last visit was just a few minutes ago instead of yesterday (or whenever). This isn't a big deal, but it makes hunting down new posts a little more involved.

Bill that is just how it works....

My mouse has stopped squeeking, can you fix it?

Thanks, BP! No big deal.

I think I fixed the View First Unread issue. vBulletin can use cookies or the database to keep track of which posts you have read. The old method was cookies. The newer method is to store the info in the database.

from what I'm reading the SEO mod I installed on the forum can have issues with the cookie based method.

I just switched our forum to use the newer database method.

"View First Unread" is working like a charm for me. Thanks, Chewie!

Are you IE users still having the log in issue? Wondering if the one fix fixed the other issue.
