It is possible that use of more than one computer could explain it. However, it is more than that. On some threads with multiple pages, I am taken to page one or to a page two or three pages before the location of the new post(s). Since I try to keep both desktop and netbook current on posts, they should both be able to get to the new post(s). It isn't a huge problem though. I just was wondering about it.

Are you sure you aren't experiencing what TheBum described?  With client-side cookies and more than one computer it would explain it.

Perhaps the benefactor could be notified of the problem so that it could be addressed. Whether it is fixed or not, I appreciate the benefactor providing hosting for the forum. It has been a great help.

Emoticons - yeah, it has always been that way.  I figured an upgrade would fix it but we've had a few over the years and of course it is the same.  (hosting and the upgrades come from our benefactor, not me).

Sorry I can't help on the "new posts" feature, I don't use it.

While I am at it, there is another thing I have noticed. The names and the emoticon do not always match. For example, this one is labeled "Dead": Dead In other forums, this might be called "Sick." This one is labeled "Clap": Clap . This one is labeled "Star": Star. This one is labeled "Clown": Clown. It looks like a wizard to me. This one is labeled "Stern Smile": Stern Smile while this one is labeled "Pig": Pig. There are several others, but this should suffice to show that the names and icons are mismatched for a number of the emoticons. Some of the spaces have a name, but no emoticon in the listing: "Sick", "Party", "Beer", and "Handshake". It would be nice if an administrator looked into this also.

I think you are referring to "New Posts". The Web Wiz software package does a pretty good job...for what it is and costs. Is it perfect? NO.
Is there better stuff out there? Yes/maybe. It is what it is.

It could be worse....it could be a Microsoft product....




Yes, it was supposed to be "New Posts." Sorry for the confusion. The problem was between the seat and the keyboard. Embarrassed

Old Joke but Still Funny

A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter's position and course to fly to the airport. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it in the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said "WHERE AM I?" in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign and held it in a building window. Their sign read: "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER." The pilot smiled, waved, looked at her map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how the "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER" sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded "I knew that had to be the Microsoft building because, like their technical support, online help and product documentation, the response they gave me was technically correct, but completely useless."
