Asohtra	Is there any reason why it doesn't cookie all posts in the topic when clicked?

Xooxer	What do you mean?

If you click Show all, it shows every post in that topic, it should cookie them as well. Somewhat like Mark all as read, but.. only for that topic. Am I making any sense at all? I'm tired.

Loduwijk	Yes, you are making sense; but no, it should not do that. Sometimes it does though, and sometimes it doesn't... odd. There is some kind of bug that makes threads come up in the show-all mode for me sometimes, and it is seemingly random. Sometimes it marks all the posts in that thread as read, and then I don't know which ones I have missed.

I'm talking about when you click show all. It should cookie all the posts that are in that topic if they're posted, not the new ones, just the ones that you viewed with show all.. bleh, oh well.

Crispy	The forum doesn't actually uses cookies to save what posts you've read; that's server-side, which is a lot more reliable. =)

I mean, you're viewing all the posts, it should. :/

Jamesburrow	I agree. But, I'm only one person, now all you have to do is convince the rest of byond ;)

Jamesburrow	Yes, but sometimes I think the rest of BYOND might be easier to convince. =)

Tom	I haven't seen this problem. Can you give me a procedure to reproduce it?

AZA	If by 'procedure' you mean steps in order to view the problem, it's a simple case of opening a topic in message view. then click 'View all messages in this thread'. It then opens all of the messages without cookie-ing them. (Is Cookie-ing a word? =P)
