Was hast Du bereits versucht um das Problem zu lösen?
nothing, as i have no clue where i have to look for...

Fehlerbeschreibung und Nachricht
After i login on the user block there is is stated how many new post have been made. So far so good. But it shows posts that are not new and that i already have been read and or have written myself.

And if I click on that link it correctly displays the number of posts that are stated there - but they are not shown as new either. So something must be wrong there - but I have no clue what...

I am not sure but with 1.0.2 i didn't had this problem.

Has anyone of you an idea - or was this reported recently?
Thanks

Sorry for bumping.

I had this problem again several times already. At the user menu under view new topics were listed 2. As i clicked on this link the search results in no post meat your criteria...
And well thats correct cause i don't have new posts. But wondering why there are displayed 2 - when there obviously are no new posts.

Any ideas yet?

This is not a bug, it's the way the count is made:

Code: Select all

WHERE t.topic_last_post_time > ' . $user->data['user_lastvisit'] . ' 
As you see it doesn't depend on read or unread, it depends on the last post time in comparison to the last visit time.

There has been several discussions about how to make the count (search for it).
Example (as i know that you speak German ;) ): viewtopic.php?p=8265#p8265
~~~ They say the definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result ~~~

Ok thanks so far. I understand this - also the German stuff ;)
But nevertheless i wonder about the following:

If only the last topic count is displayed why this links says - "View new posts" should it not be "View new topics".
And i don't understand why there was a discussion about this. Last posts are last posts and not last topics. And why i should be informed about last topics ---> this could be an additional link (for my understanding - AND PLEASE i don't want to discuss it. I take it as it is - only wondering ;) )

And what bothers me - and this is not solved by the link you posted. When there are no new posts. There is normally no new topic. Why is there displayed 2 (as example) when there are new topics for me too... When is $user->data['user_lastvisit'] updated? Maybe that seems to be faulty..

And i have chosen to post in English if this doesn't matter - cause i maybe have more audience and readers that maybe could offer a solution or tell me the facts... =)
