"you posted in this thread" icons - some missing?

#1

Post by Melt in the Sun »

Looking through the aloe gallery, some of the thread icons on the left show the dot that means I posted in it, but most do not. Lost in the server move? Some mistake on my end? Not a huge deal, but mildly annoying when scrolling through the galleries. See below...I clearly have posted in this thread!

Sorry, I am mystified at the moment. I don't have the issue, but have a secondary non-administrator account I use for testing purposes, and it is as you say, with no notification dots. I will look into this further, but feel relatively certain this is information irrecoverably lost. My best guess is same as yours, a result of the move.

"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

I believe I've spotted the cause. At one point during the forum woe period, I ran this:
Resynchronise dotted topics
First unmarks all topics and then correctly marks topics that have seen any activity during the past six months.
I didn't exactly understand what it did, but I think I do now.

I noticed this happened to some threads I posted in or started but not all. I assumed it was to do with the move and a small price to pay for the positives of the move!
