Mark pages read feature

It springs into life quickly for me.

Samsung Tab running Android

Not working - but has worked for the last 2 years - something has changed in just last few weeks - I have not done any updates or made any other changes to settings

Android 6.0.1

.
Hi Michelle,

The "Mark Page Read" button does not work for me either.

I am on an iMac running macOS Sierra ver. 10.12.6
Tried on the following browsers without success:
Safari ver. 10.1.2
Firefox ver. 55.0.3
Google Chrome ver. 63.0.3223.8

Also in "Search Options" clicking on "Auto Expand Unread" has no effect. It is necessary to click on "All" then click on "Unread".

Safari Version 11.0 (12604.1.38.1.7)
MAC OS 10.12.16

Doesn't work on this either...

My OS is android

OS Android 6.0.1
IE 4.0.30-21

Issue only started recently

David

Any thoughts/suggestions on why this is still happening ?

I cannot seem to replicate the issue - on any of my test platforms. Are you really using IE on Android?

David

Pretty sure it is - it came as pre installed on my Samsung Tab - its definitely not chrome or Firefox

The icon for its is a blue map of the earth

I just tested using your profile and marked page 5 as read - there was only one, it worked fine. So it is not your user profile.

Can you please install the Chrome app - try Chrome and see if it works? You do not have to keep (so delete it after if you like) it I just want to know if it is a device or browser specific fault?

I know there is an IOS 11 problem and I am working on that but it is an iOS fault and not a Safari (browser fault) and also does not fail on a Mac so you can see some of these can be very specific and I need as much detail as possible.

Do you have some security app or something installed on the device?

David

Installed Chrome

When I click on the "Mark read" button which is grey) it does clear the "updated" wording - although the button stays grey (used to change to royal blue)

Re virus apps - I run AVG Free and Lookout - both of which I have had on my Samsung for some time

Hum so it works on your device with Chrome (albeit the button actions may be different) but it does not work at all in the Android Browser on your device running Android 6.0.1 is that the full description? Sorry I just need to check 100% and then find a device running the same to test it.

Hi David, something more that may be related. (As said, mine is kaput also)
In 'My Account Stats", it shows 'Account Type' as "Visitor" even though I am logged in as a 'Member'.
And 'Membership Expires' shows as "N/A"
If the system sees me as a "Visitor", would the "Mark Page Read" function be inhibited?
I have tried closing my antivirus & adblock and cleared cookies but to no avail.

EDIT @ 4:48 pm..... Definitely NOT logged in as a Member even though I have tried repeatedly. The "Member Only" benefits are not available to me.

David, I hope this is not more of the same difficulty I experienced back earlier this year where my identity was tampered with.

LOL, this just gets even more confusing
1. Laptop - Toshiba

2. Tablet - Samsung Tab A

Curiouser and curiouser.

Can’t get it to work on any of our Apple devices, including MacBook, iPads or phones - tried both chrome and safari.

Judging by the number of people that are reporting having the same (or very similar) issues that I initially reported it would seem the changes you made recently David have definitely changed the functionality of the "Mark read" button

Any further suggestions?

Like many things in life, it's not until you lose it that you realise how much you need it ??

Still the same. Only works on my phone.

Regards

Nope - still not working

Its a shame as it's one of the features that I use everything I come onto the site

Any ideas David ???

Working for me on Win 10...but have noticed on samsumg phone if you log off and then back on you lose icons..and then they re-appear - have not done enough research to confirm issue..may not be related to website.

Cheers
Greg

Could be a conflict with Win 10 and Chrome ?
Just not working in my preferred Chrome browser, but in MS Edge the Mark Forums Read button works fine.

Yes, hope this can be worked out for all browsers, it is a simple feature that should simply work.

Mine is still not able to Mark Page Read in my preferred browser Chrome on Win10, if only a few unread I'll just click em and back button to more or less quickly mark them read.

If more than say 4 or 5 unread, I'll now open MS Edge and it works in the blink of an eye to make threads read.

My observation is per above. It appears to work fine until I change order from thread ID to Response Time.

I've cleared the cookies and logged out it works fine until I change to Response Time and open unread.

I've passed this to David but he doesn't seem to be able to replicate my issue.
