Posted November 2, 20204 yr Since upgrading to 4.5 the side block - Topic Feed directs all users to the start of the topic instead of the 'last unread' reply. is this an error?
November 2, 20204 yr Since 4.5 users can configure where they want to be redirected https://invisioncommunity.com/settings/links/
November 3, 20204 yr Author OK thankyou.. Users are also saying the New Topics use to be in bold (UNREAD) but now they are all showing as READ. have we lost this ? Edited November 3, 20204 yr by bern5
November 3, 20204 yr Read/unread topic status cannot be represented in a sidebar block because the block is cached and reused for all users.

The behavior you are describing may have appeared to be there previously, however it did not work correctly unless you had block caching set so low that block caches were effectively not being used.

OK is there a setting for block cache? or is it the sitewide cache setting.
November 4, 20204 yr What they are saying is that this has been fully removed from this version because it would show whoever refreshed the page last when the cache was cleared. So it could have been showing unread topics for someone else that just happened to be the first person to refresh after the cache.
