Give us the proper use of the bloody caps lock key.

 

What do you mean?

 

Oh and just so everyone knows:

 

sug·ges·tion P Pronunciation Key (sg-jschn, s-js-)

n.

The act of suggesting.

Something suggested: We ordered the shrimp, a suggestion of the waiter.

The sequential process by which one thought or mental image leads to another.

A psychological process by which an idea is induced in or adopted by another without argument, command, or coercion.

An idea or response so induced.

A hint or trace: just a suggestion of makeup; the first suggestion of trouble ahead.

 

de·mand P Pronunciation Key (d-mnd)

v. de·mand·ed, de·mand·ing, de·mands

v. intr.

To make a demand.

Is there are way to stop the "time-out" refresh on read/unread threads on VBulletin? I can go away from the forum with unread threads and they are usually showing as unread when I return; however, if I sit on any page for too long, i.e. reading a particularly long series of posts or I leave the computer for a while, when I go back to the thread list it's marked everything as read, unless threads have new posts in the meantime. The old XSOrbit forums didn't do this, which was one of the few good things about it, is this "hard-wired" in the VBulletin code or can it be lengthened (considerably)/disabled?

 

I think, in general, this forum is rubbish at remembering which threads and boards you have read. Even when I use the option to mark whole boards as read, sometimes when I come back a short/long time later all the threads that I've read, or marked as read, appear to have new posts but in fact they don't. It's quite annoying.

 

Edit: Even just now when I made this reply, submitted it and went back to the forum index, the forum said that there were new replies in the rules board. Lies.

Taken on board, I still suggest you give us the proper use of the bloody caps lock key.

Since you asked so nicely. Were you to construct a sentence with the caps lock on it will transform it to this:

"Only The First Letter Of Each Word Will Be Capitalized"

Hmm guess its just a general grammatical thing. Been trawling through to see about the whole "thread read/not read" cookie whatever problem (couldnt find anything im afraid) and didnt see anything for this. Will delve deeper.

 

Oh wait, i've enable capslock. But no shouting, I have a headache.

Actually can we clear this up.

 

Are old posts that you havn't read (say from 2 weeks ago) being marked as new.

 

Or

 

Are posts you have read being marked as new?

 

As the first one is standard of vB anyway.

 

Well, in my case it's that posts I haven't read are being marked as read, simply because I've been sat on one page for too long. Kind of gets annoying, especially as I have no idea of how long the specific time out is, my best guess is it's in the 15-20 minute range. To be honest that's nowhere near long enough, I'd prefer for the the timeout to be disabled completely, but if that isn't possible then it really needs to be at least an hour.

Nope, an ongoing problem.

 

But Roadie, sometimes when I do that if I kill my browser and then open a new one later and come back, marked read threads/boards are no longer marked read and appear to have new posts, when they don't.
