(Bug-Minor) My Updates Count Update Bug

TheVoiceofExile·10/20/2013, 12:59:12 AM·2 votes·1,435 views

Hi all, I hope this hasn't been reported yet and if it has I apologize.

I experienced an issue with the "My Updates" count not updating properly. It remained at 1 even after I viewed my updates. Here is exactly what I did:

  • Noticed I had an update in the top right, clicked the "My Updates" link
  • Read the comment that was replied to my comment I originally made
  • Clicked "Show Parent" so I could get some context as to what that person was replying to
  • Clicked "Go to Comment" so I could view the thread again
  • When I arrived at the thread the count on "My Updates" at the top had not been reset to '0' even though I viewed that update
  • Note: The thread opened in the same tab as I was viewing my Updates in, so it couldn't have been me just having 2 tabs open (which I didn't anyways)
  • I clicked the "My Updates" link again and it properly removed the bug from my counter

TL;DR

Problem: I clicked to go to the comment that was replying to a comment I previously made, and once arriving at the thread my "My Updates" counter did not properly update to 0 after viewing that update.

Solution: If a user clicks to to go a comment from their "My Updates" list remove that update from the "My Updates" list and the counter.

Yea - I've been noticing a slight delay with that.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out! I'll try to see if we can't get that to have no delay on accurate count when we release the ability to flag a post as inappropriate.
