so whenever check this site from a different computer the topics stay highlited so i have to go through them all again. is this normal? or do i have to do something?
im not sure if this is the place to bring this to attension but too late.
thanks!

 

Do you login when you are on another computer?

 

it is called a cookie..., it is stored on your local computer so if you log in via aonther computer none of your personal settings will be there.

 

exactly...

when you go on the website, and view lets say one of the topic, a cookie is then saved onto your computer, reminding it that it has viewed that topic. Therefore, when you go on another computer, it will not have these informations.

Yes, this is normal

 

thanks guys!

 

do you stay logged in from both computers though?

because i think the server tracks time of your last activity (like clicking into threads, posting, etc), so if you are logged in on both, it doesn't matter which computer you are viewing it from, the only topics that are highlighted are the ones with posts later than your last activity...

but of course, when you start looking into the threads, then the cookies will remember which ones to un-highlight once your start clicking on them....

 

if im logged on my computer remembers but when i go to a different com. im not logged on so i have to start again then when io go back to my com. i have to start again. thats why i though it was the servers job to remember my activity. does it make a difference if im a guest or member? i dont know jack about computers so i dont know if this is normal or not.

 

Yes, you need to be logged on.

 

sorry, i should have said when im logged on...

 

No, it doesn't matter whether you are a guest or a member.
