It is possible that use of more than one computer could explain it. However, it is more than that. On some threads with multiple pages, I am taken to page one or to a page two or three pages before the location of the new post(s). Since I try to keep both desktop and netbook current on posts, they should both be able to get to the new post(s). It isn't a huge problem though. I just was wondering about it.]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2016 09:24:32 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83959#83959 forum navigation : Are you sure you aren't experiencing... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83938#83938 Author: techntrek

Are you sure you aren't experiencing what TheBum described?

Perhaps the benefactor could be notified of the problem so that it could be addressed. Whether it is fixed or not, I appreciate the benefactor providing hosting for the forum. It has been a great help.]]> Sun, 23 Oct 2016 20:12:13 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83883#83883 forum navigation : Emoticons - yeah, it has always... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83878#83878 Author: techntrek

Emoticons - yeah, it has always been that way. I figured an upgrade would fix it but we've had a few over the years and of course it is the same. (hosting and the upgrades come from our benefactor, not me).

Sorry I can't help on the "new posts" feature, I don't use it.

While I am at it, there is another thing I have noticed. The names and the emoticon do not always match. For example, this one is labeled "Dead": Dead

Dead

In other forums, this might be called "Sick." This one is labeled "Clap": Clap

Clap

. This one is labeled "Star": Star

. This one is labeled "Clown": Clown

Clown

. It looks like a wizard to me. This one is labeled "Stern Smile":

Stern Smile

while this one is labeled "Pig": Pig

Pig

. There are several others, but this should suffice to show that the names and icons are mismatched for a number of the emoticons. Some of the spaces have a name, but no emoticon in the listing: "Sick", "Party", "Beer", and "Handshake". It would be nice if an administrator looked into this also.

I think you are referring to "New Posts". The Web Wiz software package does a pretty good job...for what it is and costs. Is it perfect? NO.
Is there better stuff out there? Yes/maybe. It is what it is.

It could be worse....it could be a Microsoft product....

Yes, it was supposed to be "New Posts." Sorry for the confusion. The problem was between the seat and the keyboard. Embarrassed

Old Joke but Still Funny

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to fly to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it in a building window. Their sign read: "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER." The pilot smiled, waved, looked at her map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because, like their technical support, online help and product documentation, the response they gave me was technically correct, but completely useless."

I'm seeing the same thing.

I also wish this site stored the last read post position on the server side instead of in a cookie. When I switch between my work PC and my home Mac, New Posts always include all posts since I read new posts on *that* machine only, not new posts since the last time I viewed new posts on *any* machine.]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2016 12:12:20 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83803#83803 forum navigation : When I select "new messages,"... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83796#83796 Author: StephenH

When I select "new messages," I get the list with the number of new posts in parenthesis. When I click on those links, most of the time, I am taken to the new posts. However, with messages that have multiple pages, I am sometimes taken to pages earlier than where the new posts are. What is different about the message threads where this happens and the message threads where the expected action of going to the new posts happens? Is it a quirk in the forum software? Is it a cookie problem? Is there a fix for this misbehavior?]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2016 09:23:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8927&PID=83796#83796
