Problem with 'view posts since last visit'
For the last few days I've been having a problem with the 'view posts since last visit' feature, which is how I've always used the forum. Basically, I go to that page (from my bookmark), and find the list of posts; I click on the first one I want to read, then use the back button to get back to the list.
At least that's what I've always done. What's suddenly started to happen is that when I press 'back', all the posts have disappeared and I get a message 'no posts or topics met your search criteria'. What seems to be happening suddenly is that the software is marking all posts as read as soon as I click on a link any any one of them.
I'm using Chrome - currently on a Chromebook - and have cleared cache and cookies, but no change.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or can anyone shed any light on what I might be able to do to rectify it?

Would it help if instead of using the back button, you went back to your bookmark after reading each post? That's what i have to do since I got a Mac as just using the back button does't mark the post as 'read'.

Well, everything crossed, I seem to have sussed it ... the culprit appears to be the Hola plug in. When I disable it, everything runs normally; when I enable it it doesn't.
No real idea why it should act like that but I wonder whether Hola creates a new IP address on every page click and so effectively opens a new session each time?
