    Solved Icons for topics

    Post by Gabfest April 7th 2023, 11:41 am

    The icons for topics aren't changing. Like I added a new topic and the icon should have changed from the frog to the lion. Instead, it did nothing.

    If you mean the new icon, it would not be new for you.  Have you tested with an account that was not logged in when you created the topic?

    Hello,

    Can you ask a member who was not logged in when you made the topic if it changed for them? The icon is meant to alert members to posts they haven't seen since their previous visit. Since you made the topic the system will see it as you having read the topic already and not update the icon for you.

    Since this is a forum 'in the making' I have no members yet. I will make a test account and try it as per Ape's instructions. Will let you know if that doesn't work. Thank you all very much!
