It keeps showing me the same, already-viewed posts as new posts. For example, I've already checked out Jackie's post in Miscellany, Rappin' on da grill, but each time I visit the main page that article is presented to me as if I hadn't seen it yet. Most puzzling. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This occurs routinely. I respond by going to the page where one's personal settings are set and punching the "mark everything as read" button -- twice. I also have the maddening experience of being signed-in on this board, opening IE in another window, looking at something, coming back to the board and being signed out, as an apparent consequence of having the audacity to have two copies of the same browser open and on-line at once. Grrrr.

That ends up not being registered as a read post, so it remains a New Post.
