I don't always want to look at the Cruise or Solo info, so I don't have those boxes ticked. Like I said as well as Cherry and John, switching from one computer to the other will make things that you have already looked at be new again.   John D.

I'm with Cherry - happens to me all the time when using different computers.   Cherry C.

The software for this board seems to recognize members not only by our sign-on names, but also based on the computer we're using (presumably it puts cookies on each one). If you will use only one computer to read this board I think you will find the confusion disappears.   Bob Dart Senior Member Username: Bobdart Post Number: 981 Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Sunday, May 31, 2009 - 10:16 pm:    Don, I looked into my profile, but couldn't find the place to select 1-day, 3-day, or 7-day info. Any idea where it is?   D.B.M UK Senior Member Username: Overlandrover Post Number: 4674 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 - 09:42 am:    Bob, do you have your profile set to just get 1 day info, or is it set on 3 or 7. Might have something to do with it. I know when I switch from computer to computer,everything is fresh if I go on my second computer.   Bob Dart Senior Member Username: Bobdart Post Number: 975 Registered: 06-2005 Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 - 02:19 am:    Every time I move to one of the discussions on my notebook I see the yellow highlighted "new!" by a number of messages where the last entry was 3-4 days earlier. Yet, on my Apple desk top the same yellow "new!" does highlight only new messages for that day. Is there something that I can click on to have my notebook recognize new messages from old?
