ali-s Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Does anyone else have this problem? Everyday at about 5.15pm all the liitle red arrows showing me new posts dissapear. I can be reading a post and when I go back to the forum index the arrows have gone even though I have not read them Regards Computer thicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 It doesn't happen every day at the same time but it has happened to me, then I have to trawl through all the topics to see what I have missed............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 It hasn't happened to me on this site but it does regularly on the other site I visit - very annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes, it is frustrating isn't it...doesn't tsake much for me to lose the plot. It happened last night about 1.30 ....must have been Zebedee. The times when it happens seem to be random for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I dont seem to have that problem - but maybe its because I am reading posts at 5.15AM and the red arrow goblin isnt up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallina Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It happens to me -- but only if I accidentally open another copy of Internet Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Same here if I accidentally leave before I check all the posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 oh, well that might explain my disappearing arrows then, I've always got two ro three explorer windows on the go, and the Omlet site is my homepage...so it probably gets confused...(as do I...easily ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 No Mel, just you and the local wildlife Fools, all of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 If you use Mozilla Firefox (available to download free here ) you can use tabbed browsing. I have the forum page open in one tab, then right click on each thread I want to read to open the thread in a new tab. Its so much more user friendly than IE.

Sheilaz Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It happens to me -- but only if I accidentally open another copy of Internet Explorer. That could be it, its frustrating when it happens, but it prob. is something I can avoid, now you mention it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
