Still some bumps ...
Whenever I click 'Mark All Messages Read' I get an error message page telling me that the 'Session Verification' failed.

I tried it at different points in my sessions and it always worked for me. Do you have another browser you can try? It could be browser/cookie related.

I tried it once and got the same error message once.
Subsequent tries, produced no error message.

D'uh, corrupted cookie, actually two cookies, one left from before registering, the proper one from after.

Sadly a second session cookie is set over and over again because of the loading problem. That is, when we hit the Home button to have us shown logged in, the forum software sets a cookie - or the cookie is set when we go to the forum page, before we hit Home.

By coincidence I realised I do not need to delete the second session cookie, it is enough to do a reload of the forum home page. Still, would be nice if this issue and the 'not being shown logged in when coming here' thing could be tackled successfully.

I believe everyone who is having trouble is running some sort of cookie monster! The only way this feature won't work is if your browser is unable to save cookies for the forum. If you are running a cookie monster that restricts saving of cookies or your virus scanner is set to "filter" certain cookies, that's probably the problem.
On logging in, just get into the habit of clicking the "Login" button the first thing you do. Then the "show unread" and "show new" options will be available.

Not really using a cookie monster. With Opera I usually set the browser to accept cookies only from the site I visit; this tends to give problems if different domains are used within a site, in which case I change to accept all cookies. I set this for ddisoftware.com yesterday and tried it a few times. Doesn't work. Can't do more than simply accept anything thrown at me ...
Since a simple reload of the page helps to overcome the session verification prob, I am not so sure cookies have anything to do with it [though they have to do with the not shown logged-in phenomenon].

It has to be some sort of filtering problem because only a handful of people are reporting the problem. Try using IE to visit the forum, log in, read, whatever. Then the next time you go to the forum (assuming hours later when there may be new messages), use IE again. See if it works that way. Also, I'm not quite clear on what you mean by reloading helps overcome the session verification problem. Can you give me a step by step of what you are seeing? Mike |

Mike, maybe there are many more readers that it doesn't work for, like me, and just haven't bothered to report it. Sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't.  OS Vista 64 w/Vipre Don |

OS Vista 64 w/Vipre Don Or... maybe you're the fourth person to have the problem as these threads would indicate. Hard to tell because for me and many others I've talked to, it never fails. That would seem to indicate a problem on the user's side. Plus keep in mind, I didn't write this software. It's in use all across the web for millions of people. I'm just using the software as is.

1. Open the Web site for the forum 2. Click on Home [to be shown as signed in] 3. Visit any forum with new messages [probably read something; usually I do] 4. Go back to forum frontpage using the navigational features of the browser [Back button; with Opera I use a mouse gesture or Backspace key] 4a. Scroll down and click Mark All Read [optional] 4b. Same as step 4 to return from the error message page [optional; depending on 4a] 5. Reload forum frontpage 6. Click Mark All Read [this time it works] Not but I faintly remember using IE [8] once to check the behaviour out, and it was the same. Nevertheless, while it is slightly annoying, it works by way of the very simple work-around, thus, IE is out of the question for me. This is not for some anti-MS notion, just that IE takes a long time to load, is very slow, and all in all a drag; it takes much longer and is much more annoying than this strange forum behaviour. |

Thanks, I repeated these steps exactly this morning and when I get to 4a, as soon as I click mark all read at the bottom, all the little scale icons go light in color indicating there are no unread messages in any forum. So it works the first time for me. I even logged out as admin and logged back in using my generic user account with no admin privileges just to see if that was a problem, but it worked under my generic account too. Using FireFox 3.0.11. Mike

Mike, I guess I get to be number 5  I also get that message: "An Error Has Occurred! Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. " If I then log out, and log back in, then marking all messages as read works as expected. The writers of the software must have had some problem in mind when they offered the solution. Maybe they could give us a clue. Ken |
