The cookies which are fed to your computer have a set date of expiry, often less than a few hours. Obviously, the cookies get corrupted or "expire" later on. So, this should happen and is not a Poly problem, merely a cookie problem.

Opera handles the cookies the same way as the Gecko-powered browsers, and I'll bet my bottom dollar that IE does too. I'll just check now...
Yep... if I delete the cookies except the one containing my login details, then all the threads become unviewed (in Opera and IE6). This is exactly what should happen. If your computer has no record of seeing the thread, logic and experimentation dictates that the thread will not have been read, according to the computerLast edited by Frozzy; September 5, 2003, 18:40.

Interesting. We get opposite results when we delete cookies.
I have one cookie for each read thread younger than 6 hours(I think it's close to 6 hours, it could be longer). If I look at a read thread's ID and delete the corresponding cookie, the thread becomes unread.
If I understand you correctly, you have one cookie for each unread thread. When you do as I did, the thread becomes read.

Fascinating.
Looks to me like when he deletes a cookie, the thread becomes unread, "unviewed", or "not have been read" just like you.badams

You do realise that 90% of Windows users don't have the slightest clue what a cookie is, apart from the fact it is also a synonym for a biscuit. Thus, I think Microsoft are going to focus on the 90% instead of the 10%, no? Welcome to basic economics.
Right... this just about nullifies any of the previous statements you have made. The term ceteris paribus comes to mind.
hi ,
well ya could always write a story on it , ........
