I've finally managed to get through most of the forums, and I have a few questions about navigating this place.
If I pick either "New Posts since..." or "Today's Active Topics" I get a list of items.[nbsp][nbsp]When I view one of the items and get to the bottom and pick "next newest topic" or "next oldest topic"[nbsp][nbsp]I was thinking I would go to the next item in the list that was presented.[nbsp][nbsp]Instead, i get taken to the next topic in the forum of the current question.
Did I say that right?[nbsp][nbsp]Anyway, suppost "Today's Active" had a topic from ServerQuestions and one from Email.[nbsp][nbsp]I click on the one from ServerQuestions and then "next oldest" gives me the next topic in ServerQuestions, not the one from Email.
Am I doing something wrong?[nbsp][nbsp]So far the only way I've found to stay on track is by liberal use of the browser's back button.[nbsp][nbsp]Is there another way around this block?
Second item.[nbsp][nbsp]When does the light-bulb reset?[nbsp][nbsp]After I've read all the items, it's still lit.[nbsp][nbsp]Likewise, when I've visited a topic via the "next oldedst" and "next newest" the link in the form summary doesn't show visited, but if I click on it directly, it changes color.
Last Item, how do I log out, so I can log in again to cause the stuff to reset?[nbsp][nbsp]Is that what the "Reset Cookies" item is for?
I can't believe how stupid forums make me feel.[nbsp][nbsp]Anyway, thanks for all the help you all have been so far.[nbsp][nbsp]I've enjoyed the humour and the solid advice.
Thanks,
