Site slowdown on user features

[getut]

Is it just me or has anyone noticed a behavior change with this bulletin board.

Here are examples:

The following example still seems to work as it always did: If you go into a forum grouping such as Rural living that has had new posts since your last logged on visit, the tractor sign will be yellow. If you go in and look around for a minute and then come back out and refresh your view, the tractor sign will be white.

This next example is where I am seeing the behavior change: If you are inside a forum, all the threads that have had postings since your last logged on visit, have a peach or cream colored background behind the thread titles. Threads without new postings don't have any shading at all. If you refresh your view it USED to update the shaded areas as soon as you refresh your view. Those shaded areas now seem to only be refreshed once or twice a day. The same goes for new post shading once you are in the flat view for the individual threads. It used to track those changes for you almost in a user driven type of way, but now seems to be server controlled on a very INfrequent schedule.

It's cookie controlled so there's always a chance that your cookie has gotten stale! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

In reality, the way it is suppose to work is like this:

New messages are shaded in cream and bolded until you view the thread.

In most cases, they will remain marked as unread until you leave TBN, close your browser, and return. However sometimes they will remain marked as unread across multiple sessions.

Also, marking all threads as read does in fact mark them all as read.

Thanks Muhammad, I could have sworn that I used to be able to go into a thread and come back out to thread view, refresh my view, and have it update immediately.

I may have gotten confused though, becaues I frequent a few network security lists also. Oh well.. I guess age is catching up to me.
