There’s been some bugginess going on here. One specific example: a thread I had 3 or so posts in is no longer showing up as “high interest”. Another example, for a couple weeks now, when returning from making a post, “it” doesn’t return to the list of messages it was previously set at (e.g., if I was viewing “Unread messages to me”, it would return to “Unread” even when there were several Unaread to Me messages remaining.
I thought maybe the High Interest messages were tracked by cookies, so I went in to the Temp folder to see, but didn’t find anything.
Anything I can do? Having High Interest messages get lost is really a problem.

I'm seeing the same thing happening. If I select High Interest, they appear. When in Unread Msgs. they disappear as well, and after posting doesn't return from whenst I left???????????

I will ditto that. The same thing has been happening to some of my "interests", I get lost looking for what I was looking at when I go from different posts.
Another issue that I've noticed is that when I go to the login page I get a meaasge that says it appears that cookies are disabled, and am on the Taunton Home page. I have to click on Fine Woodworkinh, the Login.
Sounds like you might be onto something with cookies.

I had this same problem in December. I posted a thread to the Sysop, but got no response. Had to chalk it up to everyone being on vacation for the holidays.
When I signed on after new years, I went to look for a discussion I had been following and had tagged 'high interest'.. My folders showed no threads of high interest at all.
If you get a response of some type, I would love to know what happened, and if there is anyway to back track to get all those threads back. There was a lot of good information there I would have liked to keep access to.
At one point I thought maybe they backed up the system and deleted some old files. Who knows?
I'll drop a line directly to Mark and Matt. Obviously, they won't see it until Monday. The software is owned by Prospero, I think. So it may be their problem more than Sysop's, but it really makes me nervous this is happening.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
Hi All ,
Have you looked in your " My Forums " ? do these threads show up there ? Maybe somehow they are being unchecked ?

Forest,
We became aware of this problem this morning and have notified Prospero regarding it. The response I received was that they are working to resolve the problem which is supposed to restore all messages to their previous state.The estimated time for resolving this is in the next couple of days... I know that is vague but what appears to be a fairly straight forward issue is actually very complex and requires lots of database work, so that is the reason this issue might take that amount of time to resolve. As soon as I hear anything I will let you all know.Mark

Same here with the high interst markers disapearing-- and it is unpredictable whether threads I have read before will show as read or not.
Also had a couple of very innocent posts that just disappeared -- not deleted by the sysop -- just POOF gone.
