Forum problems?
Is it just me or is everyone having some forum problems?
I know the net is running heavy at the moment with everyone trying to find out about the WTC and Pentagon disasters, and phone lines are busy ...
At first I thought it may of been Netsape so switched back to IE but is the same
whats happening:
I come to the page from favorites (automatic sign in) then view a new entry, sometimes if i go to post on that entry or another it asks me to sign in again (does tihs every other time)
Also I view a new subject and by the time i reply or just read it and go back to the main index all the "unread" entries are gone
could this be a cookie problem ?
my cache is emptied after each browser session (not cookies)
One other thing, is there a page or pop up somewhere that has all the quote, code, smily tags we can use, the html has got me a few times (not showing up)
Cheers
Busy

This happeneds to me sometimes too, although not as often as it seems you've encountered it. A few times I've had to log-in again, and sometimes when I go back to the main board everything will be marked as read, although this is more likely to happen if I've spent a long time posting to a thread or something like that.
When you post reply there are three links above the posting form - "vB code" is ON, "Smiles" are ON, and "[IMG]" code is ON - these three links will lead you to more information.

I am not aware of any problems with the forums.
I haven't changed anything lately, so I'm not sure what could be causing your problem.

The only problem I have had with the forum is when I click "mark all forums read" I usually have to do it twice (about 95% of the time) before the will be marked as being read.
I won't complain too much though becuase the other good things about the forum make up for that one little quirk that I have experienced.

disaster-master, I had a similar problem a while ago. If your using IE, check this:
Tools > Internet Options > Temporary Internet Files > Settings
Check for newer versions of stored Pages: Every visit to the page

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Thanks! I changed the settings. That will probably take care of that lil problem.

New problem, well its not really a problem more a mystery, when I sign in at the very bottom at the "inbox" part, it says I have two messages (yeah no ones messages me), but checking it there is only one in there, did I miss one or is the reply classed as one as well?
Maybe I just enter thru the twilight zone to get here
lol

2 unread or 2 total?
I keep my PM box empty, but it says I have 8. I think it's keeping a running total.

2 total
I have only ever had one message, I did reply to it so that could be the second one

Yep, the reply accounts for your total PMs, so 2 would be correct.
