MyBB Community Forums

Hello,

over at the kde forum i noticed a small error with the icon that shows which forums have unread posts.

Using mybb 1.4.2

How to reproduce:
If you have new posts in a subforum, go into it, read them, return to the frontpage. The toplevel forum should be read, too. But returning to the frontpage shows again the icon for unread posts.
Now enter the forum again. Nothing new in there. So again return to the frontpage without doing anything. Now the icon changed to no new posts.

Thought of a cache problem, but this happens only with forums that have childs.

This is by design - You will see the problem in other forum software too. It's simply because it'd be too processor intensive to calculate all of the children forum and parent forums for every single second level and third level forum on the index

Ah, ok, i understand, thanks for the clarification.
