Just curious when the logins weren't required for the beta forum.
Was wondering why my unread posts were no longer showing up with the red highlight (icon) so I could check unread posts. I do learn a lot from the replies, and some have even assisted me or taught me more about the new features.
Well I have to clean out my browser occasionally to read my local paper online, (10 articles per month or pay) so its a good time to flush out all the clutter. They use a counter in the cookies. Of course not thinking about it, when I came back to this forum, it just let me in without logging on. Always required it previously on cleanups.
Of course as soon as I logged in, the red highlight was back on the icons and I was back to being able to go directly to unread posts in each article.
