Red Star new topics

aaron, i have a problem, when i sometimes log into walakes.com most new postings have a blue star eventhough i haven't read them. I also had a problem with my inbox, i logged in this morning and a new message was sent to me last night but when i entered my inbox the message had a blue star, can you help!!!

Do you actually log on every time or do you stay logged on?

I stay logged on at home, but when i'm at work i log on and off.

I can't tell you what the problem is... I don't really have any way of knowing, but I imagine thats something to do with it. I stay logged onto the site at home and at work... unless someone is sharing a computer with you and you fear they'll go to the site I would stay logged on in both places.

The only thing in question here is the LastVisit date that is set when you come to the site. It's reset every time you open the site.... so if you logon at work, don't read the messages, and then come home, they will be older than your last visit, and have a blue star. As for the private message that was blue, I've had that happen once, and I was not able to find out why.

I stay logged on at home but if i close IE and go back in all topics are blue should i log off everytime at home? Unfortunately we share computers at work so i have to log on and off. Thanks for you insight into this topic.

Well... it's the logging in/out that gets you... the red star is determined based on the datetime of the posts and the datetime of your last visit. Closing and opeing a new browser will cause a new session to be created on the server, which creates a new last visit datetime.. and then all the posts will be blue. I suggest you leave it the way you have it, but try to understand how the dates work. I leave my browser open with 4 or 5 tabs loaded.. one with the Comment Watcher, one watching the Active Topics in the forum, one watching for new fishing Reports to be posted, and one for "whatever"... and I never close it... seems to work for me.

Can you post me a link to your profile? Something doesn't seem right....

I think this is what you asked for.

Post by **Aaron** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:25 am

Yes, that is what I asked for. I wanted to see what you were looking at, because that page doesn't list your reports... so I'm sitting here wondering what you mean when you say your reports aren't posted...

STARS??? I have envelopes not stars, whats the difference with that? Did I change a setting somehow? I prefer the grey tone envelopes...

You are running a different theme. I made a theme to match this new site. You should give it a try, I think it's the best one we have.

Ok, now thats just cool! I guess I was set to "Deep Blue" Now its "Darkest Night" Forget the stars and envelopes... Now I got Red and White SKULLS. Which one did you make?

Post by **Aaron** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 10:00 am

I made the Digital Angler one.

Ok, the Darkest Night has color conflicts with the white text and white background above and below the forumn window.

Example, I cant see the path - WashingtonLakes.com Forum » Non-Fishing Discussions/Technical Support » Bugs & Problems, Moderator Support due to it all being white, I just know its there.
