content: I have been having problems with threads showing as having unread posts for a year now. There seems to be very little interest in fixing it.

Multiple PCs.Whenever I have problems (on other sites) though it's generally related to noscript, gohstery, https everywhere or some combination. Firefox sync with noscript in particular seems to cause issues.

content: I have been with the same problems for about a week. Never before.Clicking on "Show unread posts since last visit" brings to a list of 2 to 4 unread pages. If then I click on "All unread messages", thy grow to 5 or 7 unread pages.This is in various diferent devices.I have Tapatalk on my phone but I don't use it. Maybe it checks the forum?

content: Would be nice if "Show unread posts since last visit." got replaced with "Show unread posts since last unreaded posts checking.", so it would zeroe on explict click and not due to some unknown causes.There is mod (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=512057.0) that adds "Show the most recent posts" which would be neat (since not depending on login/visiting time). Any chance of getting it enabled on this forum?(yes, still having the problem)

content: That bug is really annoyingIs there really no way to fix that ugly SMF stupidity/bug?Anyway somehow missed "Click here to try all unread topics.". Looks like sorted by last reply time descending, so that should do the "smf is crap but here is a workaround" job.

content: I've been having a problem in the last week or so with my work computer running IE 10 will show the wrong date and let me browse as if I was on that date. It seems I have to CTRL-F5 to get the current version of the page.I purged my browser cache and reset everything with no luck. It still may be just something on my side but was just strange to suddenly start doing that.
