    Not lovin' the latest change. The "mark forum as read" option in the forum tools dropdown is handy for subbed threads where you don't necessarily want to read everything, but want to be able to see when there are new posts afterwards. Now when you click on forum tools it refreshes the page and throws you down to the bottom of it where the tools have been relocated, and when you click on mark as read it jumps to the category main page. Seems to be a change just for the sake of it to me, although if someone can tell me why it's better I'm all ears.

    I haven't done anything at all and it was working fine an hour ago. I've no idea what that noscript thing meant. :confused:

    Did you try clearing your cache? What browser and OS are you using?

    Working fine here. Sounds like your browser might need a cleaning.

    Firefox 2.0.0.14 on XP. I'll try clearing the cache and closing the browser and see what happens.

    Those caches are crazy. I saw my posts with someone elses avatar for ages. I thought an smod/admin had changed it until I tried clearing the cache.

    it's fair to say that if faiths avatar ever goes missing, a good place to start looking would be my basement.
