Rereading every post

Yep, including my own...some of which I with I'd not written or would have worded differently. In fact, some I don't remember writing at all. Now, that's scary. Happy

I just marked all read...

I checked my profile to find out who replied to my posts so I could respond, but aside from that I just marked all read and started fresh. For me it was actually refreshing, though...I had been locked out of my account for about 24 hours, and that little glitch fixed it for me. Happy

to talk too soon but

Is this the forum fix you were talking about?

The fix of the forums since they were broken in April. If it is, so far so good.

If that was the fix I'd be selling all the stock they gave me. Wink

On Tuesdays and Thursdays they release minor updates, and evidently something really went wrong. However, that wasn't the system overhaul that we're all looking forward to. Message marking does seem to be better, though, and the new 'GeekSquad tip of the week' in the XP forum is an interesting addition.

Not any more...

For a few days it was working perfectly, but now that you jinxed it it's back to it's usual old self...threads marked as having new posts when they don't and vice versa, along with thread counts and 'previous/next message' links malfunctioning. I'm just glad I'm not the one that caused it to all go south, Rick. Happy
