'nother small problem

HoP doesn't seem to be recognising threads i've already posted in as having been looked at...?


R

whinge whinge whinge

yes, old problem, happens to everyone i know. No fix that I know of

um. but it's only started happening today?

not sure, if anyone knows i'd like to know thou

I can't imagine how it could be coded to not work, but it's never worked particularly well for me. Soemtimes it does, sometimes it doesn't

It works perfectly for me.



I reckon its just your computer Mr R..... like my problems only happen on my computer; yours only happen on yours

I've had/have this problem

I always thought it was because i use multiple logins. Like when i go home, alot of the threads i've already viewed and posted in while at work are marked as having new posts in when in fact they dont.

Deleting all cookies and temp files and stuffs seems to help.

I have this problem also and it seems to start happening after I have opened threads with greater than 2000 posts in them or after I have opened a lot of threads.

It does to opposite to me!

when i check in the morning it tells me that theres nothing new...when blatently there is!

I have this problem a lot too. I have never noted when it happens though, i just know some days it does, some it doesn't.

I have this problem.... on all computers ilog onto hop with....


its bearable tho

seems to be fine again today

Maybe you've repented.

i get that sometimes but refreshing sorts it out

better than repenting anyway

in which case, your problem is caching

my problem however, is a lack of cache.

wwwcache.kent.ac.uk port 3128

Ta.



Can you transfer it into my bank account please as well?

and here i was thinking it was because i have many tabs open.

I can stop worrying about breaking the internet now.

can be. There's currently over 50 caches half built in my office at the moment, it's a nightmare!

I can imagine!

whats a cache?

i have a vague idea but not really...

something that stores a copy of something

a web cache is a thingy which you ask for a webpage, it requests for you then gives back. It keeps a copy so if you or anyone else requests it again, it serves it from itself. That way if you have a cache on a network then once a page has been loaded once when anyone views it again it'll load instantly. Useful for speed and because bandwidth costs money. There's a big push at the moment by the UK government for all schools to have web caches, because it's cheaper than giving them better net connections. A neat thing you can do with them is to get them to preloadd a website over night, that will be stored ready for the following day. Say you're teaching a class where everyone will view a media rich site about the Mary Rose, you can pre load it all over the school's crappy modem connection the night before and everyone can access it like they're on mega expensive broadband

what happened to the "mark all as read" button?

Or was that on the old board?

nice one flid

does anyone ever get put onto a page with absoloutly no posts on when they click on the link to the last post thing on any threads?

this is really annoying, more annoying than this problem i think, especially for dial up users, its alot slower to load pages

ooh and when the things saying what the recentest post is in that forum just says Re: then blankness, and the person who wrote it underneath

but one cant complain, hop is pretty perfect , i'd probably die without it

Code:

---

if ((memberNum <= 1000) && (random(365) == Date.day))
{
  thread.isNew = true;
}
else if ((memberName.equals("Nate"))  && (random(50) == 1))
{
  thread.showBlankPage = true;
}

---

Nope, I've never had any of that happen.

Bump

ok either my computer is going crazy (which it proabably is) or HoP is being wierd. Everytime i click on a link to a forum or thread or whatever, it opens up in a new window which is mightily annoying! anyone else experiencing this?

also, my computer started randomly playing music whilst on hop last night. There were no programs open other than Internet explorer and it wasn't even music that i own! It played one track then went away but i couldn't work out where it was coming from! I was only on HoP so it wasn't one of those really annoying sites that insist you listen to their choice of crappy music!

aggh!
