New post icons not working

Post by Aqua. »

I've been in the various forums three times today. Each time all of the icons have appeared as "read" and there were no "new" post icons. However, there have been dozens of new posts I've seen.

They work so long as you stay logged in. But, starting last Friday or Saturday, everything is marked as read when I logout then back in again. Before then, with Mozilla, they stayed as "new". (Only when the session timed out or I closed Mozilla without logging out would the unread status be reset.) Apparently, according to this post, Firebird always reset the new status. (But I know that Mozilla and/or MozillaZine only started doing this a few days ago.)

I know that the forums here were doing some strange things Saturday night (I got a listing of the /forums directory containing only two .php files) so maybe some maintenance was done and this is related.
