this has been happening for about a month. i will click on a thread or a post and when i leave that thread or a post it doesn't change colors showing that i was in that thread or post. i will go 3, 4, 5, 7 days of it not showing that i have gone into threads or posts. then all of a sudden it starts changing colors showing i was in that thread/post. yea. 2, 3 days later it stops showing i went into the thread/post. it has happened a number of times.

is there something i can do to fix this every time it does that.

cause it is really hard to read du without highlighted threads. and it is even more hard following threads if i cant see what i have already read.

thanks.

you guys are great. (wanted to support and say a week ago, but didn't want to bug you all and saw lots of people doing just that). ((not bugging you, but supporting you)).

1. I don't know what could be causing that
I'll alert Elad to this thread to see if he has any idea.

3. Hmm not sure, but it must be related to your browser
Check your preferences for how often your browser is set to load pages from cache vs. requests from the server. Some settings meant to speed up browsing will load a lot of pages from cache, which might cause this problem.

did i tell you i was computer illiterate? i am not sure about what you said. i was going to have my husband tell me what you were talking about. but i had a poster tell me to delete my history. i could do that, lol. it worked.

i appreciate it. again, it is since the new explorer update. probably connected to that in some way. it does all kinds of different things. i will have hubby read what you say to see if there is a permanent fix.
