Two forums open...

[Dave]

Does anyone ever have two vBulletin forums open at the same time in separate browser windows?

If you do, have you ever marked a forum "read" in one forum and return to the other forum to find that all the new posts have been marked "read" , too?

It happened to me several times now, but I didn't think what I did in one browser window would affect the other browser window.

Does anyone know how and why this is doing that? And, can I prevent it from happening.

i don't think it can be fixed. since they both are vBulletin they must be using some identical global variable..... or what not and so some operations are passed to both......yep thats a pretty technical explanation .....hmm, let me try to rephrase.....it's kind of like electromagnetic interference. i think this could only be fixed on the server-side, not client-side.

Oh well.....

I tried it with 3 browser windows open and each one to a vBulletin forum. Click to mark all forums "read" on one browser and all 3 forums were marked "read". I would say that it's an interesting phenomenon, but it kinda' sucked since I wasn't done on the other forums.
