If you open forums.d2jsp.org, and you have the notification you got single pm, you clearly see the counter of pms indicating you got a new pm

In my case it says
38 / 50 (1) :icon:
Indicating i have a single new message.

If i click the notification, it opens the pm and marks it as "seen".

However within view of the new PM, it still states;
38 / 50 (1)

Once i refresh it, it been marked as read.
This is confusing, because i gives me the feeling there is still (an other) unread pm.

@njaguar, im pretty sure that if you move the update of a pm being read up in the code, the view renders it automaticlly correct.

Just my POV but the point point of this forum is more about selling fgs and having content provided by the users than looking good.
And business wise it's not a bad choice since the user base is used to this look.
This forum still looks the same as 10 years ago.

Yeah but this notification system was implemented under a year ago and despite the purpose of the website it’s always important to have all things on the front/back end running smooth.




What browser do you use? I haven’t experienced this yet with Chrome but when I mobile browse on safari I don’t even get the notifications sometimes.

It isn't about the notification, its about the "unread / total (icon)" next to your fg on the page =)

I have this issue in firefox btw.

This is not a visual bug, it's just a result of in which order the backend processes information. In this case, the forum fetches your number of (unread) messages before marking the opened message as read. As a result, the opened message still shows up as unread.

This is a very common quirk in websites, because a lot of reads and writes (often regarding the same info) happen during one single page load. I really don't think this will be corrected by njaguar, since it would require complete restructuring of the backend for a purely cosmetic change.

Edit: FYI, this "bug" happens regardless of what browser you use.

This is what i said in my first post =) at least tried to ^^.

I dont think it would require a complete restructuring trough. Basically it should update earlier the "readed" flag. That's it, specially if you think about the fact this site is made in 2001-2002, and i assume there is allot of functional code, as it is based on php4

I'm afraid it's not really as simple as that, but I suppose you are free to keep bumping this thread until njaguar gives his point of view.

Singular bump
