I'm logged in and, as usual, I visit the last page of the DBP Challenges thread as there were unread posts. I go back to the board and it still says there are unread posts, so I click to view the last page again and all the posts are read.

I've tried logging out and in, I've tried clearing my cache... Any idea's rich? All other threads seem to be fine...

Also, at least for me, if I go to "My Threads" and attempt to go to page 2, or 3, or whatever, I get:
"Forum update in progress, please bear with it. Suggest you come back in a few hours."
I do not like it and wish to view my old threads without hassle!

NT, maybe there are unapproved posts from noobs in the thread that you can't see yet, but the system knows are there.

Same problem happens here. More than likely Rich accidently screwed up a variable in his code and it's passing a bad string.

Raven, do these links work for you?

I have no idea if those above would work or not. My posts still don't fill up one page.

Uhh, not to pirate this thread or anything, but has anyone else had touble with the code box things: like this



when ever I try to expand and read one the text inside it is all mashed up and really small. I can cut and paste it into DBPRO or Notepad and it looks fine, not really something I can't live with but its a bit of a pain. I guess I'm just wondering if this is normal, or if it's something wrong with me.

EDITED for typos

Me too, they were the noobiest of noobish threads too, all with my name and the most annoying smiley, , at the end of them all.

I get the same problem. It seems to be with certain posts, not the threads themselves because when someone else posts, the system works fine again. It's annoying though. I keep viewing the same threads over and over.

Nick, I don't think they are finished with the forum changes,
yet, maybe? I see the same thing on my threads, and cant get
to the last page, as well. Says come back later.

That bug has been there since the unread posts feature was introduced. You'll see it whenever a mod has deleted posts from a thread, and it won't disappear until new posts have taken it past its previous high-water-mark.

It's 1152x864, kinda an odd size I'll admit. I'll try changing it and see what happens.

EDIT: Changed the res a couple of times, but that didn't do anything. I'm not gonna worry about anymore though, it's not that big of a problem.

@Fjope: Press Ctrl + 0 (zero next to minus), that will reset the font size. Could also be windows display properties having small font settings...
