I try to be objective and detached but don't always manage that. BTW, Storm Erik thread had new posts but they didn't trigger the new posts alert system, neither on the splash screen or with a green down arrow in the recent posts listing. Your last post didn't trigger the Splash screen but did award itself a green down arrow in the 'Recent Posts' listing

That is odd - methinks there are gremlins in the works ...

Just done it again, after 'Fred' posted, then I saw your post above indicated by green down arrow so I hit the splash screen button, no new posts announced there so I came back and hit the green down arrow and here I am replying. This has been typical behaviour here for some time, I have noticed that the green down arrows sometimes didn't activate despite obvious new posts. Not all the time but occasionally, then occasionally the green arrow would activate and indicate new posts well down the list of recent posts, new posts which I hadn't read or noticed. I reckon to read every word of every post, I am constantly visiting the forum throughout the day, except when I am away, even then as often as possible, so not much passes my attention.

The routine grabs the last time you visited the topic from your user database and compares it with time each post in the topic was posted and if there is a newer post than your last visit then it triggers the button change. It is the same with the PM button. The latter works flawlessly but the former is erratic, I think it has to do with the timing of the database updates - I will have to investigate exactly what happens and in what order. As for the green arrow, maybe I'll change the way that works first and see if it syncs with the button!

Sounds like a plan, I think there are probably some parts of the software which are't talking to other parts except occasionally when the Moon and the stars align. Perhaps we need the Moon and stars to align more often. Off to read a book! Yes, a real, paper book! Amazing. Have been looking for the list of smilies I created just before the previous software was ditched... Nothing yet but I have't given up hope, I think I kept a hard copy somewhere. And I have numerous archive disks in my draw.  It just takes time trawling through all the folders.

Hmmm- checking the database and the time stored is 4 hours earlier than the actual time of posting - 4HOURS!!

That might explain something, a bit like the train departing 4 hours before you get on it.

No - your last post is shown in the db as being posted at 18.53 when it should be 22.53 so you would have got on the train before it arrived ...
