[CLOSED] New/Unread topic clearing without ever visiting the forums

Hello,

I've noticed that topics on these forums don't show up as "new", even though I have most certainly NOT read them, or even visited the forums at all. Because of this, I have an increasingly difficult time keeping track of topics that I have or have not read. I know you can click "Recent Topics" for exactly that, but it is not convenient and I have to guess the date of my last visit each time. "Last Visit Date" just says "Today", which is unacceptably vague for me, and doesn't clue me in as to whether I (knowingly or not) visited the forums.

I've had my suspicions that Safari's "Top Sites" (and similar features in other browsers) are secretly preloading the top websites in the background, and making sites think that they are actually visiting. I think that such a feature is stupid (especially if you can't turn it off!) and only serves to slow down my horrible internet connection and clutter my hard drive with page previews. Advice on this would also be nice.

Feedback and opinions are appreciated. If you experience something different (or if it works properly), then posting basic system and habit details can provide clues.

Again, I would really like this to be fixed, as soon as you can!

I can take a look into this functionality, although it would require some heavy customization on the Kunena plugin (our Forums). I believe I discussed this issue in an older topic and I recall that this was due to our Joomla logins through the Marble Blast Game client.

According to this Kunena thread , the Unread Topics will reset each time you log out of your Marble Blast account. I'll see if I can prevent this from happening, but in the meantime just remember that every time you log in to the game client or the website, your "new!" posts will reset when you log out.

That would actually make sense, as I have been logging into the game more recently, as of late. Thanks!
