Orange "new post" link

#1 Post by tanstaafl2 » Tue Oct 09, 2007 2:09 pm

Seems to be a hit or miss proposition at the moment. Worked OK yesterday and earlier today but not so much lately.

Is that just me or are others experiencing that?
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

It usually takes me to the wrong place.

I haven't noticed any problems at all with the New Post indicators or the links. I'll keep an eye open though. Incidentally, are you guys using OS platforms or web browsers that differ from the usual (Windows, IE, Firefox, etc.)?

Nope, it works right on the other two boards.

Yesterday the little orange icon took me directly to the first unread post in a thread. Today it just takes me to the first post in the thread. So it's not just you.

I use garden variety IE. Worked initially but not today. Not sure about now as I haven't checked this evening.

Seems to be working again. Might be the difference between the home and work computer.

I haven't had any problems with the orange buttons, though I did at times on Bob's bored. (I am using IE 7.)
