"Mark Forums Read" Not Working?

[Asgaroth]

Hi All,

On the main page there is an option to "Mark Forums Read", whenever I click this link an new page pops up saying that the forums have been marked as read, then it redirects me back to the main page, however, if I then click on "View new posts", I still get the 220K posts that have been there since I first registered on the forums.

Is this a known issues, or, is there something I might be doing wrong here?

Any thoughts on what I can try to mark the forums read?

Yes, the "View new posts" feature has been broken for years on the forum ...

The workaround to clear it is to Logout, then Login again to the forum.

Aaah right, okay, thanks, at least there's a workaround.

Wonder why it doesnt get fixed, is it a "feature" of the version of phpbb that's running here?

Bug or feature, I don't recall at this point. It might be fixed in a later release, but have not read through all of the release notes for the newer versions.
