I glad you may have found a solution to the login issue.
 
Here's what is happening with the 'Mark all posts as read' link:
 
With version 7.x, I would click the 'mark all posts as read' link on the forum home page and any forums or posts displaying Open Forum %5bnew posts%5d (for unread messages) would be changed to Open Forum %5bno new posts%5d (for NO unread messages). This does not always work with 8.0 RC1. 
 
I hope I'm explaining this well enough. Thanks.
 
Update: I see what's happening. Clicking on the 'Mark all post as read'  does not always sync with the current time. I just clicked three times on the 'Mark all post as read' link on this forum and this is what keeps displaying:
 
The time now is 12:47pm
You last visited Today at 12:42pm
 
It didn't set my last visit date to 12:47pm.

The 'Mark All Posts As Read' simply updates your last visit date to the present time and date, so there are no posts older than your last visit so they are all marked as read.

When you refer to a session issue, is it that you are finding when you come back to the forum you are logged out sometimes.

If so I have found the reason for this, if you log into the admin area the auto-login cookie stops working, so if you leave the forum for 20 minutes or longer you are not logged in when you return.

I am presently looking into this issue.

As for the session problem, now you have sessions stored in the database you should be able to get a list of them by viewing the database table.

Could you have a look in this table and see if and when your session ID is changing, or a new session is being created for you, as this may help workout what the issue is.

Also does it only happen when you click the 'mark all posts as read'?
 
I'll check the database and post the results and it does not happen when I click 'mark all post as read'.
 
I tried the 'mark all post as read' link on your forum and noticed the same issue - all of the posts were NOT marked as read (using IE and FireFox).
 
Also, would it cause a problem if I re-ran the 7.x to 8.x database upgrade utility? I wonder if there was a problem with the conversion if no one else is experiencing this issue.
 
Thanks for all of your help.

And a few minor bugs from me:
 
In the new_reply_form.asp page the labels like Size, Font,
In the file-image upload page the label Upload
are shown in English and not included in the language file.
 
Please someone (preferably Borg Smile) tell me how I can translate them.
 
Besides them, version 8 is a great one. Have fun.

Unfortunately, this didn't seem to correct the issue.

My forum is using an MS SQL 2005 database that was upgraded from version 7.97 and has 20 topics per page and 10 posts per page. The posts I noticed the problem with was on its third page (it was the 27th post in the thread). Hope this helps.
 
Also, could the sporatic session loss have anything to do with the 'Mark all posts as read' link not working consistently? BTW, my site is hosted on Crystaltech.com

1. A small bug means that when logging into the admin section you are shown as 'Anonymous' in the active users list.

2. I shall look into this

3. Someone else reposted this, and I am unable to replocate it. When you make a new post you should by directed back to the forum_posts.asp page with the Topic ID (TID) and the Post ID (PID).

4. This is done by design, as it coursed issues in previous versions.

5. If you are loosing your session it often means problems with the server, or you are using web gardens etc. Change :-

'Const blnDatabaseHeldSessions = False'

to true in the file 'functions/functions_session_data', this will mean your session data is stored in the database instead of using an application level array.

5. This email bug has been reported and is being looked into

Here's what I've found after a full day of use/testing:
  • My admin account occassionally disappears from the 'Active Users' list. I think it happens after I enter the admin area.
  • The 'Mark all Posts as Read' link doesn't always mark all the posts as read. This has happened on two seperate computers with both IE 6.0 and FireFox 1.51 (all cookies were deleted on both computers to help resolve the issue with no luck).
  • After Replying to a multi-page thread, you're taken back to the first page of the thread (this may be by design).
  • Unlike version 7.x, after making a change to a topic (moving, change to sticky, etc) and you close the window, the forum page is not automatically refreshed/reloaded with the changes made - you must manually refresh the screen.
  • I have had a few loss of sessions.
  • Email address don't show up correctly when you view someone's profile.

BTW, I'm loving the new version and can't wait for the final release.
