Hello,

I tried searching for this issue but was unable to find anything on this. I have the Charcoal2 theme pack and it works and looks great!

My problem is that when anyone first logs into the forums each area with new posts indicates the new posts with the little red graphic (folder_new.gif). But if they then click on any of the forum areas which have new posts there is no indication inside the forum which message is new (minor detail). But more importantly if they head back to the main forum listing all the other boards that HAD new posts in them have changed over to the "no new posts" gif.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time.

Try these settings in the forums admin / cookie settings:
Cookie domain *LEAVE BLANK*
Cookie name *LEAVE BLANK*
Cookie path /
Cookie secure
If your server is running via SSL, set this to enabled, else leave as disabled *DISABLED*
Session length [ seconds ] 3600

Sweet! This seems to have taken care of the problem! Thank you very much.

Glad it helped.

Help was much appreciated Coldblooded!

Would you happen to know which (and where) files in this theme are the ones i need to edit if

1. I want to make changes to the "delete this topic", "move this topic" etc...?
2. Change the default avatar for guests and unregistered people?

Thank you.

the power of SEARCH! Had this same problem on a conversion i did last night, did a search here and BOOM! all better.

thanks coldblooded

I had a site doing this as well and never thought to actually ask for help on the matter :?

Thanks coldblooded, your my hero

... that is assuming it works of course. ;-)

No problem.

hehe, it will. Not sure why those aren't the default settings, that takes care of the issue on every site I've setup.

It seems to have done the trick on that site, thanks.

Here I thought I was looking at potential db related problems :? It never even occurred to me that it may be a cookie issue. ops:
