Here's the problems, and their cure.
Mr. Lester,
The Problem you are experiencing is this:
If you are using Internet Explorer you can use the Messenger by doing this:
Tools> Internet Options... > Security
Set it to medium security. This will allow cokies to be enabled, as well as some of the coding features in this forum. This will also not hurt true security. The messenger passes along your username via cookies, and wipes them out as soon as you leave that window, as not to inflict upon security if you are at a public computer.
Mr. Moneth,
I am working on your edit post, however, I do *think* I may have the answer.
Mark all post read: Cookies DO have to be enabled for this to work. Our forum uses cookies to let you know when there is a new post, or a new reply. So you have to have cookies enabled. You also, have to either log out, or close the browser all together, to show you as logged out. The cookies are set so as they are cleared as to your presence when you close the browser window, or loggout.
So when you click on, "mark all posts read" you need to either loggout or close the borwser.
I would suggest closing the browser, making sure cookies are turned on, then try it. Also IE can be finicky, so if you change settings, close every open IE window, then open back up IE. Then try us again, this might help cure the Edit thing.
I have not had any problems, but I cannot keep everything working without you letting me know what's the matter.
God Bless,
Alex Stanton
