Question "NEW" (unread posts) indicators are lost

Hi and thanx for this new version.

The issue with the unread posts is still here; You login, see 5 new posts, read 3 of them and then logout. After some time, when you came back , you loose the remaining 2 unread posts...

I think this is an important issue, since all members of a forum want to know the new posts.

Best Regards

This is actually limitation on our read post indicator as it assumes that user doesn't want to read the topics which he didn't read during the session.

Implementing a better way to deal with unread topics is one of the next things I'm going to look into, but I'm not sure if we have time to implement and test it in a full extend -- I hope we can, but it's pretty complex feature to add at a last minute before going stable.

Since then, I think that the "easy solution" for a user is to read all messages in a season and he 'll be sure that he didn't miss one, next time he logs in....

Yes, and it works as long as you don't need to check just one topic in a hurry (for example by using your phone). But with mobile features we really need to tackle this issue rather sooner than later.

One other thought for this issue, is to set session lifetime to a higher number. Am I wrong?
I am thinking to set it TOO HIGH, 24 or 48 hours! Could this make a "damage" to my site or make the server "heavy"?

There are two "session time" settings (and these are also connected to site caching) - for specific details of which I suggest you look at Problem with Kunena Session (as one example).

What would be a suitable value? That's a difficult one for me to answer and you may find better opinions among the Joomla experts at forum.joomla.org . In my personal, non-expert opinion, I would recommend a much shorter session life between half-an-hour and 6 hours (maximum) but, as I say, I'm no expert.

I'm not 100% this is so. I have been unable to replicate the problem (both on my own test sites and here, at www.kunena.org ). In other words, if there are topics I have not read during one session and, many hours later (or even days), I reconnect to the site and look again, all the unread indicators are there for me to see. In my situation, the Kunena session time set to the same value as Joomla session time and caching is disabled.

@sozzled, that's very strange, since I got the same settings as you. Must be something else in my settings I suppose.

By the way, is anyone out there that faces this "issue" with new posts?

Do you mean caching disabled for both joomla and kunena?

Caching Settings In Kunena are theese.
Caching >yes
cache Time >1 minute

I have disabled caching in joomla, though.....
