That feature depends on Cookies being stored on your computer.

I have posted to the LBT site from 9 different computers in 5 different houses, using 6 different operating systems (versions of Windows, Mac and Linux) and with all systems, the forum knows which threads I have read and not read.

If they had the feature of "View First Unread", it would be different at each computer based upon what the last thread that I read from each computer.

I tried that for a while with Windows 95 back in the 90's. I had to move my "history file" from computer to computer using a floppy, but Windows would tell me that the file was protected and could not be over-written, so I had to use a spacial program to get around Windows, by booting to DOS.

I know it is a pain, especially with "Hot" threads like the "Antisemitism in France" thread was. You come back to LBT after a few hours and thread had grown by 5 pages. WOW!! It was hard to figure out where I had left off reading. And I am getting old and senile.

Sometimes progress seems like a step backward.:noidea:

I don't understand why you'd be having a problem with this; it seems to be working for me.

What isn't working for me is the automatic login. Is anyone else having problems with that? I come to the site and am greeted as a guest (from any of three computers that I use). But then I click on "Today's Posts" and I'm then logged in and shown the list of threads with new posts.

Weird!!

Yep, been having that problem for a few weeks.

Leatha, I noticed you sign about DVT,s. I have just started getting over having them in my legs. First the right and then aweek later the left. OUCH

My legs have been so swollen and in pain. I spent one week in the hospital and then 3 weeks in a nursing home. I ended up getting them a week after my band was put in. Not sure if that was the cause or not. I have always had very bad legs, such as swelling, vains, ect. So who knows, I am finally able to get on a pair of jeans... let me know if you have had them and the cause, ect. Any info would be of a great help since I almost didn't make it with my first and hopefully my last episode.

Thanks, Debbie Sorry this came up under my daughter,s user name, I am using her computer so I guess that is the reason. LOL

I'm thinking this HAS to be something with computer settings. I say that because I can access LBT from my PC and from my laptop, which reside on the same network behind the same IP. On my computer, regardless of how many times I login, I get the screen for users who are not logged in. Until I click on a thread, and then all of a sudden I'm logged in. I have the "remember me" option selected, and I know I'm cookied on that computer. When I get on my laptop, my login sticks from the get-go.

With the travel I do, I've probably hit LBT from 4 or 5 different computers and countless IPs/firewalls, etc. But my PC is the only one that does this.

This is so pathetic. I had never noticed the first unread option before. What a useful feature.
