Yep. Just took me something like 20 tries before the web wiz allowed me to post
This post also proves to be difficult. I'm now on my 15th try.

I had that happen a lot when I first signed up. Went away though. I just assumed it was some kinda subtle, stealth trolling/hazing for noobs. Wink

I have a similar problem. The system doesn't mark the posts that I've read. Whenever I want to read new posts, the system shows me old posts. I can live with this, but it's very annoying. I deleted cookies, logged out and logged in many times and nothing. Wacko

"You have selected... triple venti sugar-free, non-fat, extra foam, extra caramel, with whip caramel macchiato with regular coffee poured down the side with 2 packs of raw sugar and a stir stick... have a nice day"

I code for Banks (sometimes) and I hardly ever get hours and seconds mixed up.
LOL yup, I hardly ever make those errors either.
 
However, I've seen programmers screw up the conversion from nanoseconds to seconds and fumble with the conversion of Unix to CLR timestamps so nothing surprises me any more. (One clown managed to wipe out the Datestamps of every file on our server because he didn't realise Win32 wasn't the same date/time format as WinNT - needless to say he went on to make a small fortune as a consultant during the "millennium bug" fiasco).

I have had the same problem with the New Posts function...as well as with having to re-login.  It seems to take 3 or 4 tries of logging in before I am actually logged in.  I started using Firefox because I started to have annoying issues with Explorer, but the Firefox issues seem to be just as annoying.

It's happening again, I'm selecting "12 hours" from the dropdown box, which displays 3 pages of threads. I click on page 3, the dropdown box changes to "11:10" and I get 2 threads.

It's a combination of cookies and an outdated forum system. We've been waiting for an update for... well... months now.

Once M@X gets around to updating, most of these petty issues should be taken care of.

I think I have this same issue.

Yes. Call them biscuits like  any normal person  and have three with a cup of  tea immediately.
Good idea, I shall do so forthwith.
