I pushed a forum update today that has the following changes:

1. Disabled the ads on the WinCustomize forums to try and prevent the "Malware Detection" problems for Chrome and Firefox.

2. Karma is now universal across all sites. This means that the karma number you now see in each post will be the same across all of the forums, and that giving someone karma means they will get it everywhere. Let me know if you notice any issues with it.

3. Updated some of our back-end moderation tools.

4. Minor bug fixes.

OMG! The 'last post read' button has vanished!

Um ...

Where is reply #75 to this thread?

On page 3 the last reply that I see is my reply #74 and then Fuzzy's reply #76 as the first reply on page 4 but no reply #75.

What's going on?

Ah ...

Now I see Bara's reply. Must be a latency thing. It did take at least 5 minutes for it to appear.

(Also testing reply from political machine forums)

Um ...

Did I miss the announcement about the links being provided to the source forum on replies and original posts?

I just noticed this and want to say I think it's great. I think this has been something that's been asked about for close to three years now. I'm glad to see it finally implemented.

Definitely an improvement.

There can be some delay due to the caching sometimes, yes.

What is with the constant logging in? It just started today, but I have had to log in 4 times (each time I visit the site even though the window does not close).

I will look into it shortly.

You said this was happening in Chrome too. Is that still the case?

Bara

Anyway figured out when I have it the modem in RAS mode it does it all the time, when I have it in NDIS mode it stops doing it most of the time. I don't know what it is about this forum that trips it though, perhaps ISP recompression buggery is breaking pipelining or something.

I've still only encountered it on this forum, so I assume its something that wouldn't be easily fixed (would probably require a whole lot of messing about with network tracing and I'm not really up on that stuff.)

I'll have to check if it's still doing it on the new code though

I'm not able to recreate the issue. Can you try clearing your cookies and cache/temp. internet files, then see if the problem continues?

Will do. I just cleaned my cookies (that sounds dirty!) and will probably verify in the morning. Thanks for the quick response back. Will let you know what happens then.
