Error Saving Read Posts - 22/03/2002 15:15
the bbs has stopped marking threads as read for me.
is this happening to anyone else?
the last 50 or so messages that I've read are still marked...
is it something on my computer?

See if the problem can be fixed by clicking on the "Logout" link at the top of the page, then logging back in again.

Good. You encountered a long-running, well-known (among this group) bug in the wwwthreads software, one that the developers were (so far) never able to track down. It is intermittent and we never found what caused it.
The only work around I've ever seen is to do the logout/login thing, but I wasn't sure if it would work for anyone else.
I've now gotten in the habit of doing the logout/login thing once a day so that the problem never comes back for me.
