Is anyone else getting strange behaviors from this forum? I usually just log in, click on messages, open the “Show Discussions” menu, and check for any “unread messages to me”.
Over the past few days, however, the “Show Discussions” menu doesn’t load. Instead, I get a choice of “All” or “Unread”.
Interestingly, if I enter the site as a guest, the good old “Show Discussions” menu loads… of course I still can’t choose “unread messages to me” since I’m not logged in.
Very perplexing.

Sounds to me like you may have accidentally set the forum to "Basic View." You need to change it back to "Advanced View." I think the button is at the bottom of the right-hand frame.

Thanks, Forest Girl! Serves me right for telling those who complained about navigating the site how very easy it is.
BTW, view preferences are located in personal profile. No idea how it changed - cyber ghosts?

Was I right? Was I right?? Cool!!
Don't know about the view pref in the personal profile. Can't remember if it's always been there or what, just knew that you can change the view at the bottom of the RH frame. IMO, it would be better to only have the latter option for changing view. All things considered, I tend to think that have 2 options for viewing causes more problems than it solves. So often, users can't figure out what various options (like attachments) aren't showing up, and it's due to being in basic view.
Glad your back to normal now! Have a good weekend.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl ;-)
