New Post Indicator

Am I supposed to be getting new post indicators if the only new post in the game is in a group I cannot see?

I thought I read at one point that the title of the game should only turn red if the post is in a thread I can read.  Right now I have an RTJ in for a game and have not yet been granted access, but I'm getting the red title every time someone already in the game posts to a thread I still cannot see.

Is this a glitch or am I misunderstanding the site setup?

Re: New Post Indicator

No, the game doesn't know which group you're in until you go into a game.  RPoL checks your last look time, the last post time, then flags a game.  Once you go into a game, then your groups are evaluated.  This saves RPoL from having to evaluate every other player's groups every time anyone posts.

That was fixed some time ago.  Message indicators should now only light up for Groups that a player can see.

That's what I thought.  Then I've got a glitch going on.

Re: New Post Indicator

You might have some corrupt cookies...every so often I'll get on and have NMIs in one or more games...but when I get to the game, there's nothing new there.  Usually, just checking in with the game gets rid of them, but sometimes I've actually had to clear my cache, delete old cookies, etc to get the indicators to clear.

I just did a clean reinstall of Firefox yesterday, to include throwing out all my profile and cookies and starting from scratch. I would hope things wouldn't go bad that quickly but I'll check in the morning. Thanks!
