Is it just my system or are others experiencing missing indicators of which forums have new messages? (The little lighthouse with or without the flash of light).

Those no longer appear on my screen -- and the "last visited XX/XX/XX" date just above the list of forums no longer appears.

Seems like this happened when the year switched over. To determine your last visit, it relies on a "cookie" on each users system. If you have set your browser to refuse all cookies, then those indicators and the date won't appear. But if you have set it to accept cookies (or ask), then you should.

I've searched the Forums docs to see where I set or disable the use of cookies and don't see it.

Anyone else? Do you still see the date and indicators? How are your "cookies" set - to accept, refuse or ask?

Also in all forums, my folders are always yellow (They should be red when there is a thread with new messages since my last visit).

Could this be a Y1999 bug???

Have noticed the same problem here---"the lightkeeper"

I have the identical problems John. I first noticed it yesterday but just figured you were updating the site.

I have my cookies option set to accept.

John, I get the forum correctly from the "Power Page" but have the same problems you're having when going directly to the Forum pages.

OK, problem resolved. Thanks for the input. See the next new posting.
