I am posting in a game in which I'm the player and I keep getting the "new posts" Icon where I just made the post. Is there a way to stop having it show up as a new post if I'm the one that made it (other than Mark as Read)?

The new message indicator is tracked by a cookie on your computer (unless that's gotten changed since I last heard about it) so it sounds like your computer/browser isn't correctly recording the date/time. Maybe try clearing cookies and relog into the site?

I've also seen it show as a new message if you post on one device and check it on another. (Computer vs phone or tablet)

ok, just did all that, i'm checking to see if it worked

nope.

Well the only other thing I can think of that might be causing an issue is using the Back button to move around the site. Most pages are pretty good about working around it but it could be an issue too.

Other then that you'll have to wait until a mod or someone who knows more about the site happens by.

Given that I find the back button to be absolutely pointless, I find this suspect.



Yep, I probably should have just bumped them directly actually.

So after already having clicked every check box on the clear history section, and also every checkbox on CCleaner, and just now a hard reset, we'll see how that worked.

Still "new posts" after two browser cleanings, a CCleaner cleaning, and a hard reset. https://cdn.discordapp.com/att...68400652/unknown.png

I'm getting the same behavior.  Just started in the last couple of days...I forget when I first noticed it.  I've just ignored it.

hehe, yeah it even happened with my last post on this thread

I started noticing it on a game I joined today, it wasn't doing it yesterday, now it's doing it for everything I post.

I know it sounds stupid, but have you tried a different internet browser? Or closing your current one and reopening it with new tabs? Logging out and logging back in? Or even attempting to do it on your mobile device to isolate if it’s the computer or account related?

Sometimes resorting to simple troubleshooting steps helps lead the way to where it’s coming from. I’m just curious as I’ve had this same issue before in the past but it was easily fixed with a wipe of my history and cache.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but inside game PMs it shows the icon, but the private messages link itself, and the post count don't change color to indicate new PMs. Also, I've never used any browser since I finally got chrome doing everything I want a browser to do.

I figured out how to remove cookies for rpol specifically through the circled "i" Icon next to rpol's web address in the browser. That made the PM icon go away, but I'm not sure it fixed it (and in any case, the private message indicator and new message indicatordidn't change colors).

Didn't work.

It persists in incognito mode in PMs (which I tried at PM'd suggestion). https://cdn.discordapp.com/att...79796736/unknown.png.

Happened on adblock browser on my phone too

Interestingly, (back on chrome now) I had the New Message Indicator for this specific thread, but not Technical Discussions itself in chrome just now.

It happens to me every time I post right now. It started the week before last, around mid-week if I remember correctly.

Yeah, that's about right, and I'm still getting it on all devices.

Seems to be a Chrome thing.  Just tried with Edge and don't have the issue.

Same.  Chrome on desktop returns the error upon putting up a new post, but Edge of windows 10 mobile works as expected.

Interesting.  I now get an 'unread message' flag when I post  :)  Looking at the thread in the game menu shows that I am the last poster.  Opening the thread and 'reading' my own post, cancels the New Message flag.

It even happened in this thread :)

Twice ...

....  Three times, actually.  However, I decided that enough was enough  :)

It's been happening to me, also - I just came to Technical Discussions to see if it was being talked about.  It's... mildly irritating, but definitely a glitch of some sort, and nothing I've tried from my end has changed it.

All of which is basically just me pretending I'm not posting "Me too!" (like some braindead AOLer^*), while cleverly noting that it didn't just go away by itself, and hoping that somebody is looking into it already.  One of Jase's many, many minions.  He has minions, right?  He should totally get some minions.  They're amazing.

^{*-I am all about the Pentiums.}

Winged monkeys.  Much more reliable.  :>

I've noticed a few mentions of Chrome having the problem, and a couple suggesting Edge is OK.  My mileage on Firefox is also a clean slate.  Anyone for Internet Explorer ?

Down that path lays madness...

I tried Firefox a little while ago - it is now so mahoosive that it slows my system right down.

I made the previous post in chrome -  and was notified that it was a new message.  I then started Safari (on the same PC) that showed the notification as well.  So I tried Edge - and that showed the notification as well.

Then I started Firefox (which took longer to get up and running than the other two combined) and the notification is still there ...

I had to log into RPoL on Safari, Edge and Firefox, so each browser should have updated cookies at that point.

Oh - this message was posted in Firefox ....

....  Ironically, posting from FF reset the notification in FF -  but not in any of the other browsers.

For me, I'm getting it with Chrome on my Macbook Air, but not Chrome on my work computer running Windows 10. I'll have to fiddle around with other browsers...

It happens to me with Chrome on both Windows 10 and Windows 8.

Where as my chrome is on Win 10 .....

I'm on W7 until I can get a chromebook because I'm not downgrading to W10.

I like 10 just fine. 8 sucked when it came out, but I've had no problems with 10 across several devices.

LOL

Happening to me too. Chrome with Windows 10.

Flashpeak Slimjet (yet another Chrome derivation) for Linux also does it.

It's been confirmed by the admins that it's a Chrome issue at this point.

They've suggested to just use a different internet browser.
