Mark Forums Read link - Broke

[RealMoneyIssues]

It only gives:
http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php

Which doesn't work and gives:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

Both the link to mark read when you search and the one under the forum actions dropdown...

But I'm still getting that error, no big deal Tom will get to it soon.

I'll get on it. Just seeing this. Sorry.

I didn't experience the problem, but I will change one of the settings that stores the "read" info. It is supposed to work better but it may put more pressure on the processors. If things slow down because of it we'll go to plan B. Let me know. Thanks!

Me too, same error message.

Broke again

Are you talking about the link under "Forum actions" in the horizontal menu near the top? It seems to work for me but I will try it occasionally to see if I can reproduce the error.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Both places, under the menu and the direct link in the search window.

No workie for me. Win 7, IE9.

 

[tsptalk]

I still can't reproduce it but I see others reporting a similar problem on the VB site. I will do more research.

 

[tsptalk]

I have to run, but one request...

When you point to the "Mark Forums Read" link, what URL do you see? (I know it should show in the bottom left on the IE browser).

Something like... http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php?do=markread&markreadhash=1364574159-80cbeaad1f562e7de0f571dc56ea5b9a4937cc2a

http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php

That's what I get.

 

[nnuut]

Right click, properties I get http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php
Win7 IE9.

 

[tsptalk]

I am wondering if it is as security setting in the browser or you anti-virus software, because I see something like this...

http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forumdisplay.php?do=markread&markreadhash=13645741 59-80cbeaad1f562e7de0f571dc56ea5b9a4937cc2a

... where all that noise is part of a security token.

Still looking.

Something else to try...

Go to the bottom left of the forum (above the S&P chart), and you will see a drop down menu where you can select the forum layout.

- Choose "Original" fom that menu, and when the new page loads, please check that link URL again.

Thanks.

Do you mean vB4 Default I don't see Original?

Both work for me. Under the top blue banner "Forum Action" if I click on "Mark Forums Read" it shows all forums have been read. Inside the Forum under "Forum Tools" when I click on "Mark the Forum Read" it shows all of them have been read. Hope this helps.
