Closed Posts marked as read

Affected version

2.2.15

A bit of an odd one so not sure if this is the right section to post this in... please move if it's in the wrong section.

On my site a member raised a question earlier asking why threads had been marked as read even though he hadn't read them It soon transpired others on my site were experiencing the same issue.

I looked into the anomaly and discovered that everyone appears to have had all posts from prior to Feb 10th ish marked as read.

We upgraded to v2.2.15 just over a week before this date.

Now..... the really bizarre thing is this seems to have happened to me on all XenForo sites, including here, that I frequent.

Any idea what happened around the time?

It is due to this setting in the ACP.



That is specific to each site.

Thank you Paul.

Apologies for what must have seemed like a dumb question.

No problem - the forum is here for questions of that nature.

Automated triage: As designed

Thank you for reporting this issue. Each site has a setting for how many days of read-tracking data it keeps (30 by default). Anything older than that is always shown as read, which is why threads from before a certain date appear read on every XenForo site.

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
