Re: "Interclue", FF add on, conflicts with this forum?
I suppose it's possible that Interclue somehow interferes with the forum, but if it does, it's a bug in their add-on. If you can't reproduce the problem without Interclue, you may want to contact their support and report the problem. I doubt reinstalling Firefox helps with the problem, creating a clean Firefox profile might though.

Anybody else?
Before I report it as a bug in Interclue, I'd like to see if anybody else has the problem.
Did you try to duplicate it, Sami?
BTW, it was version 1.6.1.
I'm going to try a clean profile with just Interclue installed. That should eliminate any conflicts it might be having with my other add ons that's causing this problem.

Re: Anybody else?
Ok, it seems it's not a bug, but a feature. Interclue loads the page when you hover over a link, which causes our website to mark the messages as read, because you now have seen them. That's why there are no more new messages when you actually open the link.

Got it
Phewwww. I'm glad you told me before I reported it as a bug.
I never noticed this behavior until now. Maybe because I never hovered over a link to a post with it. Maybe because it's a new feature in 1.6.1.
Whatever, you've answered my question.
And now that I think of it, there's an Interclue capability to disable for just a page, sort of like NoScript.
So I'm going to reinstall Interclue here on my working profile and try that.

Clean profile
I'm in a clean profile right now with only Interclue 1.6.1 installed, and it's happening . . . i.e. the "new" posts don't show up unless I wade through the thread.
So it looks like it's either an Interclue bug or else it's something else on my machine.
I'm 99% sure it's an Interclue bug, but I'd still like to see if other's have the same symptom.
phantazm, you use Interclue, don't you? Have you upgraded to 1.6.1? (And my version of FF is 3.0.14 on Ubuntu.) Do you have this problem with 1.6.1?

Re: Clean Profile
Nevermind, phantazm. If you look at my most recent post, I got it figured out, with Sami's help.
However, I'm still curious if you ever encountered the same issue. So I guess it's not really a "nevermind".

Yes, I use Interclue too
And, I too, have wondered why "new" didn't seem to work the way it should. But I guess you have solved the problem: when Interclue loads the page it's unmarked...
PS: I have the newest version of both FF and IC...
EDIT: "News" seems to work again, if I "disable InterClue on this site"...

Not precisely a bug or a feature.
By default, in order to preview a page faster, and figure out whether the link is currently active, Interclue loads it in the background when you hover the mouse over the link. It loads it at about the time the interclue icon fades in. It does avoid doing this for a large class of links that might cause actions to occur, and there are various ways to expand on that class of links, but in the future we are likely to change things around so that by default it does not load *any* internal links (ie, links to the same domain) until the user specifically enables internal links on that domain.
For now, as you discovered, disabling Interclue entirely on this domain from the status bar menu is the quick and easy solution.

Lurking
@ Seth,
Nice to know that an FF add on person is lurking this forum.
Had I mistakenly reported a "bug", I guess you may have been the person shaking your head and rolling your eyes, thinking: "Geezzzz, another idiot reporting a bug where there isn't one". Glad Sami saved me from being a fool.
Might I suggest though that you put a prominent note on the Interclue web site (and AMO too I guess) that for WOT users this will happen if Interclue is enabled for this forum.
Since WOT users are a group most likely to use an add on like this, and since the WOT user base is substantial and increasing, this kind of note would likely be appropriate.
Plus, it may save you the aggravation of responding to erroneous bug reports for this thing.
Anyway, glad to see that an FF add on person took the time to chime in here. Compliments to you and the Interclue staff.
P.S. "Geek in Chief" is a title that gave me a bit of a chuckle.

Does Interclue react the same way with other Drupal sites using the forum module ??

"Interclue", FF add on, conflicts with this forum?
I was not seeing the "New" posts, but rather the entire thread whenever I clicked on the number (which had previous to a recent reinstallation of FF displayed the new post(s) right away . . . I have recently reinstalled FF . . . long story not pertinent . . . and installed the Interclue add on).
I know it's Interclue because I did the usual add on troubleshooting. I disabled each add on and then tried this forum (fortunately there were enough "new" posts for me to check all my add ons). When I disabled Interclue, the "new" posts displayed as "new" and I was taken right to them.
When I enabled Interclue again, the "new" didn't display right away. and I had to go through the entire thread to find them, displayed as "Recent". (And I tried new threads each time, so that I eliminated the possibility that "Recent" showed just because I had visited the thread).
Is there some incompatibility with Drupal or some scripts you guys at WOT have activated lately . . . or is it just my machine?
I wouldn't bother asking if it was just any old add on, but I use Interclue for links when I visit suspicious sites.
I hope it's something you guys at WOT can duplicate, because it would be tedious if I had to disable Interclue for this forum and then re-enable it when visiting suspicious sites. The alternative would be to leave Interclue enabled and always wade through threads to get to the "new" post . . . just as tedious as the first iteration.
If you can't duplicate it, I would assume then it's my machine and maybe try to uninstall and reinstall FF again. But that's tedious too, and something I'd rather not have to do, especially if it turns out I still have the problem with Interclue.
For now I have Interclue uninstalled.
