Threads forgetting places last watched.

[Shaun]

Is it this thread? https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-photography-thread.112493/

Could you please try unwatching and then watching it again.

Thanks,
Shaun

@Shaun, on the subject of the alerts, is there any chance the different colour can stay put for a lot longer? When you've got 10+ threads to catch up on, it's quite tricky to keep on top of your place after they returns to normal and I frequently miss updated threads as a result, especially when I'm viewing the forum on my phone.

The current ones should retain a small yellow star on the right of the alert time - even after they have been 'activated' and the font changes back to normal.

It doesn't stay for very long and as I say, it's not easy to view on the phone.

@coffeejo - could you do me a favour and post a comment on https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/cycling-photo-challenge.9344/post-4472497.
Be interested to see if I get an alert after unwatching and rewatching

Cheers m'dear I got an alert

Thanks @Shaun. Unwatching and rewatching seems to have done the trick

@hopless500 - alerts have previously been expired 7 days after being viewed, so I suspect the photo thread one will have been read (as part of checking them generally) and cleaned out. To help avoid this in future I've extended the retention of read alerts to 30 days.

@coffeejo - I can't change the look or nature of how the alerts work, but I have extended the time viewed alerts stay in the pop-up from 12 hours to 24 hours (upto the system maximum of 25 alerts).

Cheers,
Shaun

@Shaun, I get that you can't change how the alerts work but just for reference in case it's ever a discussion with the developers, here's a screenshot. I don't know what time I logged on this afternoon but I have been slowly working my way though the unread threads (9 alerts, several pages for each). I've read four of the five threads...

Why not go to your alerts page.

Why not go to your alerts page.

It's fine on my PC but the browser on my phone doesn't do multiple tabs very well and it's a PITA.
