New posts to you! ...even if there aren't any (PART II)

Complaints Dept. | 11-27-03 | same as last time

OK, ladies and gents, I just figured my last year's screed on this was such a huge hit (37 whole responses! Woo-hoo!) that I just had to come back for an encore. But this time we have a new twist: Instead of that blue writing at the top of the page where all the threads are listed, I'm getting the notice right when I log on - you know, the one with that says "Welcome back, [whoever you are]!" and underneath it is the rectangle in the middle of the page informing you that someone has posted something new to you. But when I go to the comments page, there's nobody home *sniff*.

And yes, I know how to work a toaster, for the benefit of whoever posted that wisecrack in the keywords header in my last opus. Cleaning the egg out of it is a still a little bit of a drag, but I'm getting the hang of that too...

Once again, just curious if anyone else has a similar affliction. With his FR account, that is.

I'm not logged in, so I can't help you.

If you find out let me know. I have to take a shower.

"So then I asked him, "How far is the Old Log Inn?"
and he got out of the car and beat the crap out of me.

Happens to me every time I log in. I hope that this is the worst problem I ever have to face in life.

[Rebelbase]

Alt-F4 will clear it up each time.

[inquest]

Cool. That helped me with my toaster, anyway.

Thank you - I just added your "about" page to my book marks. Lot of good links there.

Where's Rudolph?

I have never had that happen. But if you are logged into two different computers and you read the 'new posts to you' on one, and then go read the same ones on the other that could cause it. I think.

I suppose that could be, but I always use the "Most Secure" setting when I log in, which means that even if I forgot to log out sometime earlier on another machine, it's supposed to log me out automatically when I log out of the new session. So I should be completely logged out of everything except the one I'm typing on right now.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to comment on this matter. Might it have anything to do with the recent upgrade?

[Jim Robinson]

Probably. I've forwarded it to John.

...my last year's screed on this...

First that, now this. All the time, it's just b*tch, b*tch, b*tch with you, isn't it? ;)

[inquest]

Thank you, much obliged.

Hmmm, looks like your post just came across as a jumble of random characters. Guess something else must be up with the software. Always happens at the durndest times, don't it?...
