Hey Mods, how come when I close the browser and come back later, all of the threads are shown as being read, even if I didn't get to them all? Is there something with my settings that I need to change?

The "marked as read or unread" stuff is all handled by cookies. I would suggest following the instructions in this thread to ensure everything is cleared out. The log back in, and make sure you check the box to keep you logged in. Additionally as rtb said check your browser settings to ensure that you don't have it set to clear cookies whenever you exit your browser.

Just keep the crumbs out of your keyboard 95 and you'll be fine.

Kmax -- I have three pm's in my "outbox" that I thought I had sent. How do I send them from there. I reviewed them for spelling etc then hit submit, and that's where they end up. I'm not over capacity, cookies are on, etc, but this has me puzzled. I didn't see it in the FAQ either.
Thanks JC69

Re: KMAX
They sit in your outbox until the recipient reads them, and then they go to your "sent" box. You've done all you need to do ... not it's up to the recipient to complete the process.JC69 wrote:Kmax -- I have three pm's in my "outbox" that I thought I had sent. How do I send them from there.

In all seriousness, he is correct. As I mentioned in the response to your PM, our PM system is a little different from an email program like Outlook. Since all messages stay within our system, they stay in your outbox until the recipient reads it at which point it moves to your sentbox.
