    Here's a thread for questions about the new forum. Rich, pretty please, keep an eye on this for a while?

    On my computer at work, which is creeping along with Windows XP, threads with unread posts are highlighted yellow. Yet here at home on my cracking Windows 7 beast they aren't.  Any idea how to make that happen here?

    I never graduated from XP, so I get the yellow highlights!  But then again, I have a 3-legged hamster running on a wheel for my RAM and about 60GB total memory.  I will upgrade in the 22nd Century, I promise!

    Don't know if this is the same for you.  At home, when I sign in and hit the initial Forum landing page, I cannot see the yellow notices of unread messages even after I log in.  When I click on the "Discussions" button, I see them.

    Not sure why work is different, but it may just be the way previous web pages are cached.

    Well, now I'm back at work and the little yellow highlights are gone here, too.  Puzzled I am, hmmm?

    The question, of course, is how many little yellow lights?! [-X

    Did you accidentally click "mark all viewed"?

    I have absolutely no idea about this, nor do I really know what the yellow highlights are.

    Are the Definitive Word, Books You Should Read, Movies You Should See and Crimes against Food going to get their own section or will they just be a part of Other Shows?

    I figured it out. I needed to click on 'discussions'.

    Okay....what handy codes for posting do we need to know. For example, how do we resize a photo other than changing it at the host site?

    And does that warrant some kind of thread of it's own in a sticky perhaps...?

    And for that matter is it possible to make threads sticky? I haven't been able to find that yet.

    Do you really want me to write the obvious gag?

    You do and I'll start making Kit Fisto jokes. ;-)
