Green "New Post" tag not showing up?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if it's just me or what, but whenever I log on, all the forums that have new posts in them show the colour they should saying "new posts". As soon as I click on a forum it opens and no green tags are on the messages so it looks like nothing actually is new. As soon as I exit the forum and go back to the main forums page, all of the forums show no new posts even though they have new posts. I don't know if it's as irritating to anyone else as it is to me (or if anyone else is having this problem) but can something be done about it? It puts me off reading stuff And if this has been discussed elsewhere sorry for the repeat..

No, it seems to be a new issue.

My green tags are working this morning. Are your's still off?

BeeBee

Mine work just like Astrael described. I assumed it had something to do with the hacking.

You're probably right. Mine aren't working now either.

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEX!

This is the first time I've logged in since that post and they're still the same Oh well!

Mine too. Maybe the hacker broke them so badly they are too difficult to fix.

By the way, I am still getting this in my topic review:

It must be difficult to fix as well. I know I would have no idea how to fix it, anyway.

That would be a mis-spelled variable name in the source code. The SQL probably says something like

but if the variable name is wrong then the value is empty and that breaks the SQL statement because there's no value after the equals sign.

I can't reproduce the problem you're experiencing and noone else has mentioned it. Are you sure there isn't something wrong on your end?

If you are referring to the "no new posts" icons, I'm getting it too. If I close my browser and re-open it they are all reset, which tells me that the information required to recall the state from the database is being sent in a session cookie instead of a persistent cookie.

The cookies I have right now are:
__utma (persist forever)
__utmz (persist a few months)
tf0 (erase at end of session)
tf1 (persist only for a few minutes)
lang (persist 1 year)
user (persist 7 days)
wpphpbb2mysql_data (persist 1 year)
wpphpbb2mysql_sid (erase at end of session)
SLPs (erase at end of session)
SLUs (erase at end of session)

Which one is supposed to activate the unread messages flags?

The new post icons are broken for me as well, just as Astrael describes. Strangely enough, the "new posts since last visit" icon works for me but only for new posts people make after I have logged on. When I first log on, it does not show any posts at all. It is strange that different users have different problems. It must be a nightmare to diagnose if it does not happen the same way for everyone.

When I first log on it shows all new posts but as soon as I click on a forum to read the posts everything gets wiped and it looks like I've read everything. And yeah, same thing happens to me, if I make a post it appears as new and when I read it it stays as new.. any post I've made or anyone has made after I've logged in appears as a new post that wont go away.
also I sometimes get this error message where the topic review would be:

Could not get data from ignore table

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND user_ignore = 2095' at line 4

Line : /home/planet/public_html/includes/topic_review.php
File : SELECT user_ignore FROM nuke_bbignore WHERE user_id = AND user_ignore = 2095

Is thatthe same error message mentioned before?
