About half the forums don't show the check mark beside forums that have new posts. When I am in these forums they don't have the new posts highlighted in pink/red. Some of the lesser used forums actually do show the new posts but ones like Armor, General, and Aircraft don't highlight the new posts. Could this be something with my cookies settings?

Thanks,
JC Hayes

by "highlighted" I mean the manilla folder doesn't turn red for new messages. They are all yellow manilla folders regardless if it is a new post or not.

Thanks,

JC,
I am ashamed to say I don't exactly know what info your browser checks for this. I do know that if you clear your cache and history folders it will likely restore all folders to unread status.

Cheers,
Jim

Scratch that. It is cookie based. There is a "last visited" record in the cookie that alerts the browser to new messages. If it's not working likely that data got corrupted, so deleting the cookie will return all folders to unread and you can start from stratch again.
