The past couple of days, the forum is indicating that there are no new messages. However, when manually reading the latest threads and messages, I know I have not read the latest ones. Anyone else having similar issues?

I'm using FireFox 0.9.2. Still happens with FireFox 0.9.3.

Thanks,

I was able to "fix" this by completely bypassing the main website http://www.beyond3d.com/ and going to http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/index.php. Whenever I go to the front page, and then to the forum index page. It always display my last time visited as the current time. I suspect something with the front page is setting the last time visited, which is pooching the forum new post functionality.

I'd suggest you guys are possible behind proxies.

Actually phpbb is bad because it links forum index to http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/index.php which is generally cached because their is no ? which means it should be a static page ( but its dynamic )

so what alot of ppl do is end up sticking .php as a non-cachable object but then if you go to http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/ or http://www.beyond3d.com/ you also get screwed.

I'm not behind any proxies at all, straight up cable-inet. I never had this problem until about a week or so ago. It's not a cache-issue either as the index page always has up-to-date info on what the latest thread is or how many posts and views exist.

In the meantime, I've fixed it by going straight to the forum index page.
