First Unread Post button

Doesn't seem to be working properly

i'm having problems in both ie and ff, hottest pics thread it keeps giving me somewhere around page 91 (250 page thread @ 30 posts/page)

We've had a few reports like that all since adding vbseo. So I guess thats a problem again seems to happen with big threads.

and again just after Ghostsuit posted this our (his...) users came up with maybe a very strong clue to waht was causing the glitch.

The first unread links were being directed to a date taken from the bblastvisit or bblastactivity cookies, set when a browser visits not logged in.

After logging in (v3.0.7) the cookies are not updated so members visiting with "Remember Me" checked and therefore always logged in were being sent to the wrong posts.
Hope that helps :S

This indeed helped a lot! We have been struggling with this issue for ages - - the fix will be included in the next build (stay tuned for the announcement)

You might still get inconsitent 'first unread' links as the data is stored in cookies for vB 3.0.x (see this)

3.5 works beautifully though as it stores the info in the dB - have you considered upgrading?

Cheers!
