Mark Forums Read not working
 

In the past 3-4 days, the "Mark Forums Read" on the forum home page (which is the only place I can see it) has worked only about 50% of the time. What gives?

This is the only solution to not seeing 3-4 days of bolded threads for those of us who don't use My FT, which already added extra steps but doesn't even take me back to my last log-in but also includes a few hours before that time. Whatever you tech guys are doing, you're making it too hard to use this bulletin board!

Did you receive a message of any sort when it didn't work, or was it just a case of clicking around and noticing it didn't work?

No message, just found out when I logged in next time.

linsj,

I can't seem to duplicate the issue.

Is anyone else having this problem?

it just happened to me with this current log-in and if i may, i have been marking all forums read long before to the latest enhancement to f/t but again, on this current log-in all my forums were showing as "un-read" along with about 2-4 pages (in some forums) of un-read posts)

For me, when I click on it, it appears to mark them read (i.e., no color shows any
more), but when I log on, many old posts within the fora have reverted to their bolded
status. I really dislike this, and it negates whatever purpose the marking serves.

As of now, it's not working at all.

It's still not working about half the time.

My recent experiences show:

mark forums read + logout immediately after = flags don't stick

mark forums read + continue to look around = flags do stick.

How do you logout? Are you clicking the Log Out link, closing the browser, closing a tab, navigating to an unrelated site, or something else?

I've been here more than normal lately to see if I can find a pattern. When I'm done going through FT, I click Mark Forums Read on the forum home page, then close the browser or go to another sight. I do not log out. For the past three days, the pattern, with one or two exceptions, has been that it works every other time.

Clicking the logout link. Always.

It's not working at all now.

Funny - for me it was working last night; if it quits again after this
session I'll report back.

It quit working again.
