When ever I read a thread, go off site, then come back, it's still highlighted like I haven't read it. It stay's that way all day. Is this normal.

 

i want to know why when i am reading stuff on the forms then click on a thread to read i have to scroll down thought a half page of percent signs and numbers and other mumbojumbo before i find the thread. i have dumped my cookies lol i have signed out and re started and nothing. it only does it every so offten because i just realized it has not done it to me tonight knock on wood heh

 

No, this is not "normal".
However, I went into the Admin panel and I was unable to look up your settings using your user name.
Not sure whats up.
Clear your browsers cookies and cache. If it still does not work, you may need to contact Lary or Jack on this one.

I cleared the cookies, how do I clear the cache.

Also, the red icon that say's new post in this forum is alway's highlighted until the next day.

 

goto control panel, click internet options, the page that comes up should be the tab for general stuff. there will be buttons labled, delete cookies, delete files, clear history. click the three of them and then give it a go. what browser are you using? and I assumed you are runnin windows.

 

Yep, Window's XP with internet explorer.

Forgive my computer illiteracy, but I see all 3 of those thing's, is that's what's known as cache,,,lol. If so, I never knew.

 

the history one is the one that tends to clear the cache, there should be a setting there to keep stuff for a set number of days, if you are on a high speed connection you can set that to one day or less as you are not bound by the slow dial up chain, on the other hand if you are on dial up then leave it set to 14 days or so, that way when you go toa site that you visit often you are only loading the more recent info, the core is saved ad filled in with the new stuff. so hit all 3 of those buttons and then give it a try. seeing you yhave intenet explorer you should have a good spyware remover tool, IE is a favorite target for spyware and that junk can paralize you slow but sure. Lavasoft makes a good free tool for removal and protection called ad aware.

 

I'm on high speed cable. My history day's is set to 0.

 

This has been an issue with 3.0x for some time. Always ran into this problem on my site. Nice thing about 3.5 is the forums are no longer cookie based, and the threads you read are tracked by the database. Once you read it, it's immediately marked as read until a new post is added.
