Me too - and it's mildly annoying. The unread posts link only seems to work while you are in your current internet session.  Once I log off the website, I have the same problem.  I assume it's some sort of glitch - but possibly intentional.  I'm sure it will be addressed soon.  Thanks for bringing it to light.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Here's a good method to keep up to date on all the posts:

When you enter the forum, click on "Show Replies to Your Posts." This will display the threads that you've posted on at some point, whether recently or not, by citing the most recent posting.

Then scroll down to "Forum Stats" which indicates the latest post and a list of users who are currently online. Click on "View the most recent posts on the forum" and you'll be able to scan 10 pages worth of the most recent posts, going from newest to oldest. If a given post is on a topic that you're not interested in, just skip it and keep reading down the list. You can click on a post of interest which will take you to the thread. I check on the forum a couple of times a day and feel that I am at least glancing at everything that's been posted. When I reach a point within the 10 pages where the posts are familiar, I know that I've seen everything that's been posted since my last visit.

This works well for me.

Jo -

this IS annoying and unfortunately it happens all the time.

Wish someone would fix it  :(
