Brad,

I think you've got the best film site on the web. Thanks Brad! It's the ONLY place to talk "shop".

Brad, why is that menu bar at the lower end of the screen all the time? is it only me, or does others have the same problems with the 'NEW POSTS' indicater 'bulb'? the folders are yellow all the time even if there is a new post, normaly the folder is red. I have deleted all cookies, but it dosent help?

That menu bar is for surfing throughout the site. If it distracts you, simply grab it with your mouse and lower it down.

I am using Netscape's browser and the bulbs work fine for me. What browser are you using?

Im useing IE5, another thing, after i deleted the cookies i have to type in my username and password each time i post a new message. Also when i enter the site it opens with all 20 pages! normaly its set at 3, or the last 20 days. Folders are still yellow and does not turn red when a new message is posted. Creepie!

I'm really not sure. I'm not a MSIE fan. Anyone else out there using ver 5 who can verify if the red/yellow folders are working or not on that browser version?

The default time frame is "show all topics". This makes searching the archive easier.

Brad don't you ever sleep!

Anyway the forum is very messy, it all started when i had to enter the forums through the main screen, thats where you have the oscar stuff, the old link to the forum does'ent work any more, it says 'ERROR' and try another link. I pretty much explained in my earlyer post all the problems i have. That 'bulb' thats either on or off is completly gone also!

Direct bookmarks to the forum should not be used. That was intentional and will continue to change.

So the only problem you are experiencing is the bulbs?

To answer short YES!

And the forum cant remember my name and password anymore, have to type it in each time i make a new post. My name and password was always put in for me before the mess-up!

Again my browser is MS-Internet Explorer 5.

This was NOT a "mess up" and I repeat was INTENTIONAL! For anyone out there who is bookmarking the forum directly it WILL CONTINUE to change. Please bookmark the main page only. This was done for basically the same reason that most customers can't read a sign at the box office, many readers here could not think to check the welcome page before flooding my email box when a known problem exists and is posted at the front of the site. This new format forces the welcome page upon each visit to the site and with this one exception, has completely eliminated that problem. Emails of site problems are very much welcome, but become very aggravating if there is a message at the MAIN address of www.film-tech.com stating "the forums are down for repair" etc, etc, etc. Not replying to these emails would be rude and in all honesty, it kills my afternoon replying to them when all people have to do is read. (Sorry for the rant)

For anyone using Internet Explorer and having problems, please try this:
Click on tools...internet options...temporary internet files...settings...view files...edit...select all...then hit the delete button.

I have now verified everything is working normally with a download of IE and a couple of friends who are using Bill Gate's superb browser. The problem does not lie here. (You might want to consider using Netscape.)

Please perform the above and contact me offline for further assistance. This is apparently a singled out problem and there is no need to clutter the forum with one viewer's problems.

THREAD CLOSED.
