    Dont know if you will be able to help me with this but here goes.

    Sometimes the 'yellow lights' disapear from the forums a little too easily.

    Today, i opened boards and while i was waiting for it to load i clicked a PM link from a mail in outlook.


    The 2 pages loaded at the same time but it had the effect of totally nuking my 'lights'. As a result i couldnt click on the arrow for Last Read Post and had to scan thru a load of threads trying to work out what i had last read.

    Not sure if im making myself clear but is there any way i can avoid this?

    Am i mad?

    Just got another instance of this.

    I logged in on a machine i dont usually use. I signed in and as soon as i was 'forwarded', all my stars disapeared. REALLY annoying. Any ideas?

    It sounds as if the second browser is changing your 'lastvisit' value. If the threads haven't had a reply since the 'lastvisit' time then they don't get a light.

    Best guess for now is that the session handling code doesn't get a chance to complete what it's doing in the first window before the second window comes along and starts the process again (a cookie stores your lastvisit value, bblastvisit is the variable). So, make sure that you always let the first window load up fully before you open any second boards browser windows.
