Last visited site query?
Hi,
Since I returned from Germany early in the New Year, whenever I visit the Bulletin Board, all of the "New Message" icons to the left are yellow & the date of my last visit to the site is given as 24/12/03 even though I had visited the previous day?
The only thing that's changed is my personal e-mail address but I've already updated my profile.
Any ideas, as I now have to check the date of every topic rather than relying on the colour of the message icon?
Thanks
Steve

I had the same problem too. I went into the Internet Explorer properties on my desktop and deleted all cookies on my system. Since then I have no icons whatsoever.

Yep, me too. I use a laptop at home and a pc at work. All the icons are yellow on both. I wouldn't mind so much, but I hate yellow!

This is pretty weird...
BUT it was doing the same to me too! I didn't notice it, I just go to the "new posts for the day" link.
However it seems to be cured by going to the Profile link and OK'ing your profile. Worked for me.
I suspect it's to do with the cookies on your system - could be UBB software, could be IE bug, who knows. Any NON IE users notice the same symptom? Cured same way?

You may also find it worthwhile to go to "Preferences" next to profile, and delete cookies, then reset preferences.

Nope, didn't work for me. Went to 'preferences' deleted 'cookies' pressed 'reset' and nothing happened. Did this a few times, but the only way to leave the page was to press 'submit preferences'

More bad news. The following features have stopped working:
Save user name. I now have to re-type ID & pwd every time. Tried resubmitting profile, etc. like Grant suggested, no go.
In the list of today's topics some of the links send me to a topic other than the one I clicked on.

Like beddhist I too had trouble with my profile and password a couple of times, but that was before Christmas and it has been fine since.
However when I sign into the HUBB initially the table with the list of Threads is aligned way off to the right, but once I go into any thread and come back out, it is fine.
Has Grant been paying a visit to the Twilight Zone....

All very weird...
I haven't DONE anything to the HUBB!
BUT I do know that this stuff is all kinda flaky anyway.
Here's the standard basics to supposedly clear up any problems anyone is having:
1. Do as noted above, making sure you SUBMIT Preferences, (RESET clears the page and does nothing, sorry about my phrasing - I meant Re - SET the preferences in other words 'set them'/'submit them'). Note that changing the number of days displayed to ensure it writes a new cookie is probably worthwhile.
2. If that doesn't work, DO make sure your system IS accepting cookies! All sorts of new software such as Zone Alarm, NIS, etc and paranoid types recommend blocking cookies in a misguided attempt to make the internet "safe". Cookies per se are NOT a risk. Go to your cookies folder and make sure there are recent ones there.
3. In IE, Tools / Internet Options / General, "Delete Cookies". It may even be worth "delete files", and make sure that Settings are "Check for newer versions" - "Automatically".
4. Then go back to Preferences and Re "Submit Preferences"
5. CLOSE all instances of your browser, then re-open and see if it's all ok.
Do FORCE a refresh, to ensure the cache has been cleared. (Hold down the SHIFT key, and click on Refresh or Reload.)
NO guarantees, but hopefully that will solve most peoples problems.
If anyone has been having problems for more than a month or so, let me know.
Grant
