Read/Unread posts not synced across two devices

#1

Post by CeeKa » Thu Aug 06, 2020 2:18 am

For the past few weeks I've had issues with the Exodus forum while using it on two devices (laptop and mobile phone). I'm staying logged in on both devices as usual, but for some reason I keep seeing topics and posts highlighted in red (meaning unread content) that I had previously read on one or the other device. Logging out of both devices and clearing the Exodus related cookies in Chrome didn't solve the issue.

Does anyone here have the same issue and/or have any suggestions on how to solve this?

It's been an issue since the last major outage.

As an admin/mod, I have no idea what’s going on in the background with respect to the software. It’s a bit frustrating, I will agree. Apologies.

Same issue here. Not that big a deal for me but just letting you know I'm seeing it also!

Don't get me wrong, but it's really annoying to still see this every day. It bothers me to a point where I more frequently close the tab again (instead of reading the posts) and stop using the site.

I know that this site is non-profit, but there should still be somebody addressing this issue after it has been persistant for several months...

@CeeKa, we are pursuing a solution. It’s slow because the changes have to be made with sensitivity to the issues that caused the last outage. We haven’t forgotten about this and we do appreciate your patience.

Not only does the site not remember where I left off on threads, but I'm having to login every time I visit the page. It used to keep me logged in forever. Maybe it's secretly telling me I should go find something else to do besides post on a lifting forum as a current 6 month DYEL'er.
