| | Posted: | | | | Good day, Sirs,
when does Invelos reset the "New Posts" indicator?
At a certain time? A certain time after your last forum visit?
It's a total mystery to me.

About 1 hour after login and at logout. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | About 20-30 minutes of inactivity for me or when I close the browser, which ever comes first. |

In this case I'd have to reconsider my priorities. Might be the case since the contribution notes seem to use mostly the same code as the forum. |

| | Posted: | | | | In my experience, a contribution does "start the countdown" as far a the new post indicator is concerned. So does simply viewing contribution notes, if you have the option set to keep logged on.
I just returned from a week away from the computer and last evening went through all of the new posts, section by section, and the new post icon did not disappear the entire time I was viewing, which is the way I think it should work. Other times, after less than an hour, the new posts have become "old" in less than an hour. Then I have to look at the date to figure out where the cutoff is. | | | | Kevin |

Definitely a "Yes", since for contributing you'd have to log in on the website, and I'm quite sure that it doesn't differentiate what you are doing there exactly. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | Could it be that sending in contribution notes is regarded as a forum post? That's how they appear if you consult contribution notes on any given profile. |

| | Posted: | | | | I've executed extensive tests, thereby watching my "Last Forum Visit" time. Not the log-in per se or every activity with the client or on the website starts the countdown.
You can do almost everything, like Refresh Updated Profiles, go to DVD Profiler Online and Contribute from the client. Or use the 'database' and 'my profiler' functions on the website. You can even open the 'forums' overview.
What starts the countdown, other than entering a forum of course, is 'View Contribution Notes' from the client and 'Private Messages' on the website.
This is not elegant regarding the 'New Posts' indicator, but at least the mystery is solved.
Thank you very much for your answers, dear Sirs. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |
