Since the last major refresh, I've noticed that the site doesn't reliably remember which threads I've read before or not.

I've checked the upper-right corner of the screen and can confirm that it does think I'm logged in. Going to one of the forums, though, it doesn't always remember which threads I've read and thus it doesn't show the ones w/unread messages in green.

Anyone else seeing this behaviour?

SOLUTION (worked for me at least): Sign out, then sign back in again

_{Post edited by bleargh : Adding note about what appears to be a solution to the problem I had}

I just came back since posting this earlier today, and see "no new posts in threads I'd read before". Everyones avatar image is gone too (but I suspect that's a separate issue).

Let me see what happens if I sign out, and then sign back in again...

Ok.... that's better

Logged out, then logged back in, and now I see (1) everyone's avatars, and (2) green boxes indicating new posts in threads.

Makes me think is authen related.

On a quasi-related side note... when you click "Sign Out" and it takes you to the screen that says "You're now logged out"... you cannot log back in from that page again.

It, uh, logs you in, redirects you back to that page, which then in turn immediately logs you back out. Lol...

I've done this before on my own sites, its a laugh. Robin, you might want to add a custom redirect for logins from the "logout page" which take you back to the main page of the site.

Coming back to my original issue though... logging out and logging back in again seems to have resolved the problem so far.

FYI... I can also confirm... after restarting my browser things were still working.
