Hi Christian, Jane, Somebody...
For some reason, if I use the "log me in automatically" feature of this forum, I have to log out and mark all posts as "read" or I can't use the "View new Posts" feature.
When I logged in (automatically) a few minutes ago, the forum showed my last visit as 10:38 p.m. last night and handed me something like 42 unread posts.
I've visited here 2 or 3 times today, and I'm still seeing posts from last night as "unread".
The only way I can make things work is to mark all posts as read every time I visit and log out every time. Then I need to log in every time.
I know that cosmically this is fairly insignificant, but this is the only forum I use that acts this way. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 and use forums from phpBB, InVision PowerBoard, vBulletin, and those deeply strange dpReview boards, all with no problems.
Poor, poor me
