Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted November 10, 20213 yr My users are having issues with the unread content feed. They read the content and then go back to the listing and see the "read" content is still there marked "unread". No matter how many times they view the content, it does not register as "read" until they log out and then login again. Is there a setting I'm missing that could fix this? I'm at a bit of a loss.

November 10, 20213 yr Community Expert This sounds like a a caching related issue here. Are you using any external caching at all?
November 10, 20213 yr Community Expert Please could you zip the video so I can see what you are doing there?
November 10, 20213 yr Author Zip file attached. Basically what I was doing was demonstrating the issue. I would read the unread content, click back, it's still marked unread. I tried click the unread content link, same result. Empty browser caches, try again, same result. Screen Recording 2021-11-10 at 10.00.47 AM.mov.zip
November 10, 20213 yr Community Expert Is this happening with all accounts old and new alike? Or is it specifically happening with older accounts who have read a lot of content?

As far as I know it's everyone. I've just put a call out to other users to let me know if they are also having the same problem Edited November 10, 20213 yr by AlanWeiss

We may need to look at a few things, including marking the site as read.

November 12, 20213 yr Author I have updated the Access Information. What are the next steps for figuring this out?
November 12, 20213 yr Community Expert Thank you for updating your access information. I would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to ask if they have any caching deployed on your server or domain. After attempting multiple things which would force the cache to reset in the software or mark properly these items as read is, unfortunately, still resulting in the same output for any member I log in as. This would indicate that some server cache is deployed and caching the page or otherwise which is resulting in what you're seeing.

If there is some sort of server caching happening, what is your recommendation? Should I remove all caching?

You would need to remove all caching which cache the whole page or session as this could cause issues in dynamic software where the same URL will supply various content depending on who is viewing it.
November 12, 20213 yr Author I've disabled the server caching and will monitor the site over the weekend to see if it has any affect
November 30, 20213 yr Author Solution Sorry for the late followup. Disabling the server caching seems to nave done the trick
