Could you give me an example, and the exact path you're using to get to the thread?
For each of those threads,The Trump thread and the funny pic thread. I open the main page on my browser(chrome), click forums, then off-topic, then the thread title and it dumps me at the same posts every time.
Q: Did you change your browser's cookie policiesSite now asks me to login every time.
Everything loads with current views
For each of those threads,
Q: Are you "Watching" them?
(Does their forums' thread directory display the pair of eyeglasses from this palette?
?)
"Watching" determines whether or not a thread title in a forum directory
links to <yadda³> vs. <yadda³/unread>.
The first time you go to a thread this is true, after that it has always returned to the last read. This is the case for virtually all users. And this tends to indicate that your experience as stated above is the anomaly.Hell, from what I see in my browser (Firefox/Windows),
I would never expect clicking on the title of an unwatched thread
to send me anywhere but to the OP.
Q: Did you change your browser's cookie policies
since the last time you did a monthly (30-day) login?
It's not much of a proof either way, because virtually every thread I read, I watch.The evidence, that going back to an unwatched thread does not take you back to the OP, would tend to counter this claim. The fact that it changed for a number of people at the same time, tends to indicate that the symptom, what the users see, was caused by a central, or root, problem ultimately unrelated to the individuals. ...

Now here I disagree with your analysis.I won't say that this wouldn't clear the symptom. But the facts surrounding the onset of the issues and the clearing up of nearly all the problems, tends to indicate a root cause beyond the individual browser. For this to have been caused by the browser you are asserting that a large number of people who don't even know each other, using multiple browsers, on multiple devices, on multiple OSs, across multiple carriers, are all suffering the exact same problem. ... And of course I'm prompted to log in each time but that really isn't a big deal to me.Q: Did you change your browser's cookie policies

Love the way you create things to fit the symptoms "and you and you alone had monkeyed with your browser's cookieIt's not much of a proof either way, because virtually every thread I read, I watch.
So ironically, I didn't have a ready source of thread titles in the forum thread directories
that were both unwatched, but which I had previously read. Back through the mists of time
there was probably such a thread, but not one on the first pages...
Now here I disagree with your analysis.
Aren't you the only person reporting that
they now have to log in for every session,
when 30 day logins used to work just fine for them?
I thought that everyone else just bitched/inquired
about why they had to log in once and only once,
less than 30 days after their last forced login.
If the 30-day session login is implemented with browser cookies,
and you and you alone had monkeyed with your browser's cookie
settings (say, disabling all cookie saving - not just 3rd party cookies),
then perhaps the session login can no longer get memorialized in your browser.
Your having to log in every time would be because you were
pretty much asking for that.
You might have monkeyed with your browser's cookie settings
through sheer coincidence - completely independently of the forum problems;
or consequent to frustration with them.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that your now having to log in every time
is caused by bugs in NES.
What part of "If" don't you understand?Love the way you create things to fit the symptoms "If ... you and you alone had monkeyed with your browser's cookie
settings (say, disabling all cookie saving - not just 3rd party cookies),then perhaps the session login can no longer get memorialized in your browser.?" as opposed to dealing with facts.
After some minor poking around,Todays update.
Site now asks me to login every time.
Moving forwards,IfSince the 30-day session login is implemented with browser cookies,
andif you and you alone had monkeyed with your browser's cookie settings
(say, disabling all cookie saving - not just 3rd party cookies),
then perhaps the session login can no longer get memorialized in your browser.
I had a couple last night but didn't note which threads, I'll make a note of them over the next couple days and post back.Is this still happening to anyone? If so, can you post the link to the thread/post you're being brought to?
