New post indicator

Hi Vice, I am having problems when I start up the forum. I open the forum and it goes to the default page showing all the different forums and some of these will indicate there are new posts. I then click on "Today's Posts" and when it opens up there are no new post indicators ( different colored icons ) showing. Is anyone else seeing this or might it be my computer? I am using the XMB engage format but have switched back to the default as a test but with the same results.

It seems to be intermitant now as it is working correctly on two computers at this time.

Maybe you took too long to go from main page to Today's Posts. The "time-out" function leaves little room for getting a cup of coffee.

I change screens within a few seconds so should not be a problem.

Are the security settings different between the two computers? Perhaps the cookies are being stored/loaded in different ways between them.

I still don't understand why there's any kind of "timed-out" function ... unless it's a toggle option I missed in the Control Panel.

The computers are completly diferent as one is my work computer and the other my personnal laptop. Neither worked correctly at first this morning then both started (lol) working on their own so I am confused and will see what develops when I am at home and try various computers there. Will let you know the results.

As an update, I switched from IE9 to the newest Firefox and the forum new post indicators seems to be working as it should. The tool bar in Firefox has been improved so I may stick with it this time.
