Light Bulbs
The function of the light bulbs is great, indicating which threads have changed since your last visit. But the functionality is reduced when you enter one of those threads and then return to the main forum area. All of those glowing bulbs are gone.
Is there any way to keep those bulbs glowing until you actually enter the thread instead of the main area? I realize this might create other problems, but surely there's a better solution.
Thanks.

yes, there is: click "new window with this link" and later you only close that new window and back you are were you were (this tip I learned, some time ago, from baobab).

Position your mouse over the link/thread, click your right mouse button, select "Open link in new window" (IE5 for PC).

Alrighty, I can hold the control key down and produce that nifty contextual menu. Thanks.

You can also just hold the mouse button down for a second or so (on a Mac) and you get the same contextual menu of useful things to do with the link you're pointing at. Works with (at least) Netscape 3 and later, IE 4.5.

Ahhhhh cooperation...does my heart good. We certainly have the finest group of ladies and gentleman out there that I have ever had the pleasure of...knowing????
Thanks for helping oneanother out. I was also wondering if anyone is having problems? It appears that we may have a few bugs (what's new) and if you could give us any feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
ThanX...
