McFly Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 The lovely orange post symbols don't seem to work properly in Firefox. They only appear next to threads when I've made a new post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowe Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah, mine dissapeared for a while today too. Seem to be back now though. I'm using Opera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hmmm. Don't know what's happening there. I run Firefox on both Mac and PC and the symbols seem to work fine (they're set up to be orange if there's an unread post in a forum, as I'm sure you know) I've never used Opera, so I can't really comment Try logging out, deleting your Shetlink cookies and logging back in. That might fix it YadUK performed a 'server security audit' on the servers this afternoon and put in place extra server 'hardening' measures to beef up the security. I don't know if that could have caused the glitch. I didn't notice anything. Get back to us if the problem persists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. I'm using Firefox, and have no problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 It didn't just happen today, it's always been like that. Tried deleting cookies but there's no more new posts! I'll let you ken when I next see a new post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 It didn't just happen today, it's always been like that. Tried deleting cookies but there's no more new posts! I'll let you ken when I next see a new post. I just posted in 'shetland news' 'specially for you Mcfly! (do ya believe that?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Thanks Muppet! It seems to work now when I first login, but as soon as I click on a thread with a new post, they all disappear. Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowe Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Mine are acting up again now. Come back little orange blobs, I need you! I'm having to look through all to find new posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hello Yowe and McFly. Can you think of any variable factors which could be affecting this? Has it been happening for a long time, or is it a more recent problem? Have you tried using a different browser? We must get to the bottom of this. I can't sleep!!

Yowe Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I've only tried Opera. It's a very recent problem. I'll try internet explorer for a while. Had given that a break as it seemed to be letting viruses in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandhi Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I've noticed this a couple o times then realised that I had been logged out. Logging back in seems to cure it for me (I'm using Firefox). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 It's always happened with Firefox for me Bryan. IE is fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 And I use Safari on the Mac which manages them fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I've noticed this a couple o times then realised that I had been logged out. Logging back in seems to cure it for me (I'm using Firefox).The software is designed to work that way i.e. the orange icons show which posts haven't been read since the last time a user logged in. But I really don't know what could be causing the problems you're experiencing McFly and Yowe. It must be a setting on your browsers, but apart from deleting the shetlink cookies, I don't know what to suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowe Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Mine seem to be ok now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
