Can anyone replicate this error and confirm that it exists

...

I use Active Topics (AT) a LOT!!! ... maybe 98+% of the time, and I have noticed a problem on my testing forum at www.v8central.com/portal5 . The steps to reproduce are :

1. Create a new post - it doesn't matter if it's a new thread or a reply

2. View the Active Topics page - you will see the new post. You will also see the number of active topics on the same line as the PM Inbox details.

3. Click on "Mark all Topics as read" button - this will refresh the page and show "No Active Topics Found", but the number of active topics on the same line as the PM Inbox details still shows the old number.

4. View the Active Topics page again, and everything works.

I'm trying to fix this bug, my users will go nuts if they see this.

Feel free to use the test account :

user - test
passwd - test

or create your own.

The portal page is www.v8central.com/portal5/portal_content.asp?sectionid=6" target="_blank">http://www.v8central.com/portal5/portal_content.asp?sectionid=6

I've noticed on ALL forums that display the number of active topics. I don't know a fix but I know it's not you alone

I don't need a fix, I just need to know that the problem exists. Image is telling me that the problem doesn't exist, so I just want some confirmation before playing with this more. I will post a solution when I get there.

Can anyone else see this problem on my test forum ?

thanks

My gut told me the original place was wrong, but I couldn't think of the usual place for this.

I experienced this anomoly as well awhile back when I was going to do it. I could never quickly identify why it was not working properly and just decided it was not worth the effort based on the other things I had going at the time. It is a weird issue though. Maybe I'll take another look at it. I had some ideas for a workaround as well.

Thanks dayve, it's a tv weekend for me so I'll be hunting thru some code to see what I can see. Help would be great if you have the time.

I found it !!

active.asp*
Around line 127 find this code :

if Request.Form("AllRead") = "Y" then
	'## The redundant line below is necessary, don't delete it.
	Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") = Request.Form("BuildTime")
	Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date") = Request.Form("BuildTime")
	lastDate = Session(strCookieURL & "last_here_date")
	UpdateLastHereDate Request.Form("BuildTime"),strDBNTUserName
	ActiveSince = ""
end if

CUT this code .. we don't need it here, but we do need it somewhere else

privatemess.asp*
Around line 190 find this code :


	ActiveTopicCount = -1

PASTE the code that you cut from active.asp immediately before this line.

* these line numbers relate to the Image Forum MOD, but solve the common problem when you have the Active Topic counter at the top of the page
