After an upgrade from 6.5 to 7.6 i got some errors. Here's is 1:

Strange thing... members cant get the latest post when using "post since
last visit". They always get a message that there arent any new posts...(and there are new) For me (and a few other members) this option works fine.....strange. I asked them to clear the cache/cookies etc.. that didnt help.

Go into Forum Admin control panel. Select Forum Admin. On the far right is a button called Resync. Click that for every forum and see if that straightens out the problems.

Has anything been changed in the configuration admin panel of the forums? Features like this one are cookie based.

7.6 is a new install. The database from 6.5 is used for 7.6 with a table conversion and install by Raven. Im very greatfull. Otherwise my whole website would be gone.. worship

This used to be a common theme error back in the 6.0 and 6.5 days...

Use a 7.6 dist. theme like DeepBlue. Make it default, have them all clear cookies and caches again, and test it again. If the problem goes away, the problem is in the theme you're using. If it doesn't... wow, we don't wanna go there... could be a billion nasty things...

It did work with 6.5 and never had problems with it.
Im using subblack and still using that1. But i will test it with DeepBlue

Cookie domain should not have http in it, change it to:
myclanwebsite.com

When testing the DeepBlue, make sure you use the one that comes with the new Nuke, not an old 6.5 one...
