trout Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Unfortunately this appears to be what happens with phpBB when you log out and then back in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Mysteriously, this has started happening on "Safari" Hasn't happened up to now, hopefully it'll stop again. Notably, the indicators still appear, but i've just discovered lots of postings that i've missed with no indicators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HacksawDuggan Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'm going to bring this one up again i'm afraid. The orange blobs seem to work on the forums page, but not inside a particular forum, unless I've actually posted in the thread. Even then, the peerie buttons for going straight to the first new post as opposed to the beginning of the thread don't work. It just comes up with a blank page. All this is in Firefox, which is HIGHLY CRITICAL of course, as without Firefoxes mouse gestures I wouldn't be able to enlarge the text with my wireless mouse, allowing me to read Shetlink in bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hi-i just to let you ken the orange blobbies have disappeared for me too tonight. Nice orangey welcoming blobbies but when I opened the first thread they all disappeared and have not yet returned. Could be because my computer crashed twice while online?

peeriebryan Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Could be because my computer crashed twice while online?Probably. The blobs are meant to show new posts since you last logged in. If you log out (which the forum software may have thought you had done when your computer crashed) then the new posts for that session disappear. Next time you log in, you'll see the indicators for new posts since you last logged out. If that makes sense. I've had the Windows/Firefox problem for the first time. A friend has a brand new windows PC with no tinkering done. The post indicators work as expected with Explorer but I'm experiencing the same problems as described in this thread while working with Firefox. I've used Firefox/PC/Windows combinations plenty of times with no problems. It seems to be (as with many untracable Windows/PC problems) that it's a particular combination of operating system version and browser version. I'm not sure there is anything we can do at this end. My advice is; buy a Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowe Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 My new post indicators are playing up again. Sometimes they're claiming theres a new post where there isn't and sometimes they're staying orange after I've checked everything. It's been like that a few days now. Strange. Any ideas why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trout Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 If you delete your cookies (please refer to your browsers help file) then you should start back at square one. HTH May I also refer you to this post re: spammers. This may be in addition to your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooks Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 The same happened to me after the spamming sorting out. Clicking 'Mark all posts as read' or something suchlike got past the missing posts continuously showing up as unread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowe Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Cheers for the advice. It seems to be sorted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabiaTerra Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 The orange blobs have stopped working. It just sends me to a page with the following error message: [mod]Message received and saved. Thanks[/mod] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 ^ Odd one. Seems to work fine on my computer here, but have spoken to others receiving the same error as you, AT. Hopefully the Grand Fish of Wonder will wave his magic fins and bring you happiness shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
