cookies, cookies, cookies!

Counsellor, while your suggestion would make the boards a lot easier to navigate, unfortunately technological limitations mean that FlyerTalk would have to create countless cookies in order for your browser to decide whether each bulb should be 'lit' - and this would probably lead to a severe deterioration in loading time.

My way around the problem - when I am done in a forum I hold down my 'back' button and go the whole way back to my first entry into the board. That way the lightbulbs stay lit (but they don't reflect any new posts since I first logged on)

(or perhaps there's another way around it...?)
