For some reason, the forum is listing posts as "new" even though I've seen them 20 times. Also, many threads are shown in bold, signifying new posts, when in fact I have either a) read through all the posts or b) selected the option to mark thread as read. I have checked my cookie settings and everything is fine - all other sites work perfectly. Any ideas?

What browser and OS? Do you have any 3rd party software installed that may edit, block or change cookies?

I double checked all cookie settings, and everything looks fine. I am unable to recreate any problems you described.

WinXP Pro SP2
Firefox 1.5.0.7

McAfee might be conflicting, but I don't think so as I don't have issues with any other sites.

Happens to me sometimes but not all the time. Possibly a glitch with Firefox as I also use Firefox although not the version you are using.

I noticed a simular issue last night browsing on my laptop, threads would be bold, even though I was the last one to post!

WinXP Pro SP2, IE(current version), Google toolbar, not much else.

Doesn't appear to be happening today on the work machine (same software profile)

I have an opposite sort of problem. The cookies for Bike Forums reset themselves frequently while I'm browsing the forums. I'll go to click on the next sub-forum and it will only show threads updated since I've been on the forums as new. If I don't have much time to cruise the forums it's pretty aggravating.

I'm using Windows XP with Firefox 1.5.0.7 .

I thought 1.5.0.7 was the most recent version. Cookies are allowed for originating site only, which I can't see as a problem. I've had other forums reset the cookies if I spend too much time sidetracked on another site, but Bike Forums has been the only site where they reset while I'm browsing.
