New Bug/Anomaly alert

  • May 13, 2009

I noticed that a particular thread which receives new replies doesn't pass the "new reply" status along to the thread index so that the (Updated) text-flag gets appended to the thread title.

    I myself was not clear on how the (Updated) flag worked, so I asked Jive support about how it works, and here's what they said:

    The (Updated) flag is part of Read Tracking within the application. When read tracking is enabled the (Updated) flag will display whenever there is a new message in a discussion that you've viewed before.

    There are three states that each thread or message can be in:
    * UNREAD - the object has never been read. In a skin, a "new" icon should be used for objects in this state
    * UPDATED - the object has been read previously, but there have since been updates. In a skin, an "updated" icon should be used for objects in this state.
    * READ - the object has been read and there have been no updates to it since.

    But ... there is no 'new' icon.

    Also, I have noticed that I do not see 'Updated' if the latest reply is my own - which is logical - but I DO see that if I replied by email.

    I believe the "New" indicator is with bold text, with un-bold being the "unread" state. And my understanding is the read/unread tracking is all web-based, which is why you would see "Updated' if you replied by email.

    Hope that helps.

    It gets curiouser and curiouser…

    Phos± initiates this thread at 12:28 PM on May 13, but, in the initial post he quotes a message posted at 3:23 PM the same day.

    We're seeing our own time zones. Here's my copy/paste of that message #5.

    Thank you, Mark.

    This is an unholy mess!  How are we supposed to keep track of all of this?  (That's a rhetorical question that does not call for an answer.)

    Even accounting for the three hours difference, Phos± is quoting a message five minutes into the future.  That's nuts.

    Hmm...I thought the flag image was merely a replacement for the (Updated) text, and enabled by a script—which I haven't installed.

    So now I'm wondering what would enable you to see the flag indicator, but yet I don't see the text?

    Good thing I hesitated to unequivocally call it a bug.

    I didn't when I replied.

    And I just replied to that thread again, and (Updated) is missing.

    You won't - no-one sees 'Updated' if their own post is the most recent.

    Sure...THAT part is understandable.

    But what I don't get is why I'd see (Updated) after YOU reply, but I don't after Laziboi's reply?

    Maybe HE'S the one who is "special?"

    How come, when I hover over your avatar, or my avatar, and most others' I see a list of up to 5 recent posts, but when I hover over his I don't? I don't even see his participation in the Gandhi thread until I actually go to his profile page.

    Something to do with participating via email?
