Anyone else getting their new link/comment counter reset to zero on the first (main page) reload? January 21, 2004 4:54 PM   Subscribe

Anyone else getting their new link/comment counter reset to zero on the first (main page) reload? Since yesterday or so, any time I click through to a thread and then go back to the front, every thread is reporting all comments as read. Seems to be happening on the grey and green too.

I seem to recall Matt mentioning there being some sort of timeout involved, of five minutes or so. So if you duck into a thread and come back to the front page before the timeout, all post counts are the same, but if you read one of those 50+ comment monster debates and come back, you'll only see comments posted since you started reading that thread as new.

arto: Yes and at least once when Matt posted that information it was in response to a comment of mine. This is different, unless he's reset the timeout value to 15 seconds.
