Click on Quick Links and click on Today's Posts. Most of them should be there.

This happens to me ALL THE TIME! I'll look at a few, then when I have more time I'll go back to read today's posts, and they're ALL GONE! Poof!

[QUOTE=zcaveman] Click on Quick Links and click on Today's Posts. Most of them should be there.

Caveman, thanks for the tip. The posts are there, but they're all "grayed out" so I don't know which ones I've already read.

(And I can't get multiple quotes to work, either. I'm not smart enough for the new website. I'm not smart enough to change channels on the new television either, but that's another story...)

Ay Carumba! Quick Links is technically a "Search," so this is the message I received:

This forum requires that you wait 10 seconds between searches. Please try again in 3 seconds.

I guess a question is why do you log off? I just click on home or x out of the session. When I come back next time i am still signed on and the the new posts are still there with the ones I viewed are unhighlighted and the newer posts on the top.

Caveman, I'll give it a try! Do you think I can do this even though I close internet explorer? Now that I'm in the Villages, I can't seem to use TOTV with my AOL. I have to use internet explorer or it just won't work. It worked great with AOL at home, but I can't use it here. I don't know why.

OK, I tried staying logged on, and it doesn't seem to work that way, either. I came back, and only 12 posts were showing. When I logged off, there were 2 pages of unread posts. I know I haven't read many of these, but they were all grayed out anyway. sigh.

When I was in the Tampa Bay area from Thanksgiving through the 10th of December, almost every time I checked TOTV and looked for new posts it said there were not any.

Maybe, this happens when you log out from your home computer or use a computer away from the one you usually use?

I had a hard time finding computers around my old house in the Tampa Bay area as so many of the public libraries around Oldsmar/Ozona/Palm Harbor are being remodeled and are thus closed or have very limited services.

This never happened with the old system so it is some function of the new one. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck so I've just learned to deal with it.

I used to make sure that I did a refresh on the main page after i was done and that works if you get back within 24 hours. But nothing is consistent.

Thanks Tal & Russ & ZCaveman & Diskman. I'll keep trying, but it makes no sense to me. This is the same laptop I used in Utah; it worked fine on the road trip to Florida. Now that I'm actually here, it doesn't want to work correctly.
