New posts flag after logging out and returning disappear

Hello Everyone!

I hope you can help me. I installed php-Nuke 8.0 and everything went flawless. Install the new Warhammer2 theme and AutoTheme to run it. All went well.

Now the problem: When you log into the forum (phpBB 2.0.20) it shows new posts are there. But if you close your browser and then return to the forum all those new post flags are gone. If you are in the forum and you see new post flags and refresh your page those flags stay there. If you look at a new post then return to the main forum page the new flags are there. It seems only if you close or leave the forum they disappear. I have searched the net for answers and followed instructions from this website about correcting cookie config. All the people looking at the forum all have the same problem. Can is be another issue or is it a cookie issue?

My cookie settings are set to this standard.

Can a module be causing this? I do have a new forum post block installed and it works fine.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. This is the only problem my php-Nuke site has but it is a pretty major one.

This is how phpBB2 is designed. It only saves "new post" information per session.
There is no workaround for this.

Thank You Very Much!

That is a strange function but now I know to stop troubleshooting something that is not broken
