A while back I mentioned that when I click 'View New posts' sometimes all of my orange boxes will dissappear even if I've never walked into a particular thread. I have not been able to find the ultimate source but am trying to do some research to discover the cause of the problem. I have one theory that proved wrong. I have another theory now and would appreciate if you can each try it on your machine.

In the upperleft hand corner of your screen it says "Logged in as: ____ (Log Out)" On top of underline, it has your s/n. Please right-click on your s/n choose 'View Member Profile'. When your own profile appears, right click on your name again and choose 'View Member Topics'. Before doing anything else, click on the top right hand of your screen where it says 'View New Posts' Do your orange boxes still exist?

orange boxes - thsoe small ones right near the thread titles? yep, still there

on mine they're on the left side of thread title, right side of suitcase.

Did anyone else try it?

same here

Still here.

It only seems to happen when you click "View New Posts".
If you go into the individual forums manually, the orange boxes are still there.

Not to me. Today the orange boxes aren't bringing me to the last post I read, but the last post I read yesterday, which is a little annoying.

I noticed that too, but I think it is an unrelated problem.
Sometimes it always does that on particular threads. It gets "stuck" on a specific post and no matter how long the thread progresses it always takes you back there.

it only took me almost 4 years to find this out (i always clicked on "last post by" and was taken to the last post)

I only have orange boxes.

What's in them?
