Forum settings will not save

CurtB....I tried doing a save of my Time Zone....and the Save does not activate, so you are correct...its broken!
Bruce...I too have wondered about the contents listed under the Lightning bolt. I don't understand why certain postings are tagged and others are not. I used to think that when I login, and see Bold listings under the ForumHome...or any of the others columns, that they would appear under the Bolt....this is not true. After opening each Red circle entry, I still see Bold entries. I too have had Red circles and have gone to ForumHome and gone to each numbered page and selected a Bold post. I go back as much as 4 or 5 pages and usually the Reds clear. However, the Red numbers don't indicate that there is a Bold entry that you have not read. I don't know how this Forum decides to indicate how many each user has yet to read. The numbers definitely are not what is in Bold, but some other algorithm...good question.
I don't know if you try to look at each post or just the ones that appear under the Bolt. Maybe, you need to try and Page back to open some of the still Bold entries...like I said, there is no Logic as to why some posting appear as unread under the Bolt, and yet other Bold entries still remain. Maybe some AI logic is introduced and the AI sees you commenting about certain subject or words and thinks you need to read other similar topics...like buying something, and getting suggestions on other Buys of a similar item....Amazon does that....
Here is my Bolt
But here is a Bold entry on my Page 2...this happens all the time!
You're speaking of 2 different issues. I have a permanent red notification circle I can't get rid of. I even navigated to the Activities section under my profile and clicked on each of my post for the past 4 months...but the circle will not clear.
There is also an issue with late red circles. If I notice a topic has changed since I had last contributed to it (bold font with a name of a new contributor), I will not get a red circle. Nonetheless, I click on the topic to read the post and the bold font will return to thin font. The bold font notification works.
However, later in the day, there will be a late red notification circle of that "new" post...even though I had already read it.
It's just broken and indicative of no quality assessments at Cox.
This forum website is outsourced from a vendor. In regard to development, it appears that Cox's role may be limited to notifying the vendor when issues are noted. Cox doesn't have development control. It's unknown what administrative control Cox may have over setting options that Cox customers can choose.
