"updated threads" does not work correctly

lin · May 29, 2018, 10:00

Hello, I like this forum and am interested in the OpenFOAM related threads. I visited this forum frequently and generally I like to use the "updated threads" function, and the read the updated threads "since last visit". But recently I find the threads returned are incomplete.

For example, I can receive a notification informing me there is a new reply in a OpenFOAM related thread via email subscription, but I could not find this in topic in the "updated threads ->since last visit->OpenFOAM" list. I'm not sure when this phenomenon begins to occur but I think this is not the case when I began to use this forum years ago.

Thanks

Sometimes there can be problems with a broken browser cache or cookies, you could try to clear the browser cache and remove all cookies related to cfd-online.com. I think it works well for me, although I normally do not use this feature myself. Anyone else noticed problems with this "Updated Threads" function?

I have double-checked the source code and I discovered a bug in the "Updated Threads Since Last Visit" menu that might affect some browsers. I have corrected the bug. Does it work better for you now?

Thanks for your help. I will trace this issue and will reply if I still have this problem. The browser I use is google chrome.

I think I still have this problem. The updated threads which I can receive with email subscription do not appear in the "Updated threads since last visit -- OpenFOAM" list.

More specifically, I find that the threads I subscribed belongs to OpenFOAM Community Contributions sub-forum. I just wonder whether this is the reason for this issue? So the question is whether the list showed with "Updated threads since last visit -- OpenFOAM" include all the OpenFOAM sub-forums or not?

Thanks .

Ah, there was a second problem, the fairly new OpenFOAM Community Contributions had not been added to the forum listed in the "OpenFOAM Updated Threads" menu. I have corrected that now so now it should hopefully work as expected. Thanks again.
