Hi

I don't know if it is a feature or a bug oficially, but I consider it as a bug.

On thread index page at the top of it there are displayed topics, to which have been posted replys and it is signalled by an appriopriate image.
But when I change (modify) one message within one of the threads to which there wasn't any new reply it is shown as if there was new reply to it, but image says there are no new messages in that thread.

This causes the situation like this (+ means "new messages", - "no new messages"):
+ topic1 4:30pm
- topic2 4:25pm
+ topic3 4:20pm


If is it a feature then maybe there should be a note/image saying that there was a change in this particular thread/message.
It will look much better if topic with new msgs were at the top, then below them topic with modified msgs.

Modifying a message does not make it unread, that is intentional and not a bug.

Okay, I didn't explain it clearly.

It happenes no matter if the message was unread or not. If it was unread then it's ok for me.
The problem is that is happens as I said even thoung the message was read.

I think we have a communication problem, since I cannot replicate the problem and that is possibly because I do not understand how... Sad

Take i.e. two topics and write replies to them and then modify one message which is much older and nothing has changed withing that thread yet. This should replicate the problem.

Don't see the bug after following your instructions.
Here is what I have:
- Topic 1
- reply to topic 1
- Topic 2
- reply to topic 2
- Some old message

Now I edit the "Some old message", the resulting 'tree' still looks the same.

Hi,

Once more I got to this problem. This time I collected more info.


N | Jak formatować dysk z Auroxem | nie, 22 grudzień 2002 10:22
| wine | sob, 21 grudzień 2002 21:15
N | Instalacja | sob, 21 grudzień 2002 21:11


From the left:
- N - there are new messages, blank if there aren't
- Topic name
- Last post

I went through the messages in 'wine' thread and there was really a message dated 'sob, 21 grudzień 2002 21:15' and it wasn't modified at that time.

This can be reproduced, by simply reading only 'wine' thread (when it was marked as having new messages) and leaving others as not read. Next time you display index of topics, you can see the situation explained above.

I think this is a bug in index generating caused by need for make fud really fast. Simply the code returns the most recent messages at the top not paying attention to whether a thread has unread message.

This can be solved by adding sorting by thread status (has unread msgs or not), which is determind (by user) by the thread icon.
