brought up the interchange tonight.

i'm on the list of users at the top, but no option to list new postings since my last visit and the top right side says i need to log in???

i log in. i'm still listed as a user browsing the forum and i now have the option to list the postings since my last visit ... which i do only to be told that there is nothing meeting the criteria.

what's going on now????

I just logged on for the first time since the return of the forum, and I got 62 subjects listed as "new", even though I read some without being logged in. I'll check back tonight and see if I get the same result as you did.

The reason for that is simple... Until you log in, the forum cannot track who you are, and cannot tell which messages you've read.
