Default Posts not changing colour when going through Archives?

I always look through the posts using the archives tab, and since yesterday, the posts that I look at don't change colour anymore. Has something changed??? I like it the way it was as I could easily see which post I had read.

that's controlled by your browsing software, not by the board software.
it sounds like your browser might have been automatically updated in some way.
check your settings.

Try these two things by clicking on the TOOLS tab, then Internet Options in IE:
(Note: The toolbar is hidden by default, so if yours isn't showing, you can make it appear by hitting the "ALT" key, and hitting ALT again will make it go back in hiding)

Go to 'General (tab) > Browsing history (section) > Settings (button)'.
Make sure that the 'Days to keep pages in history' option is set to a number of
days (20 is the default).

* Go to 'General (tab) > Browsing history
(section)' and make sure the 'Delete browsing history on exit' box is not
ticked.

Thanks mzzz, all those setting are the same as what you indicated. It's really strange as now some of the posts have changed colour but not all, computers???? very strange, I swear they have a mind of their own

Now none of the posts change colour again Does anyone know how to change my settings so that the posts change colour when I have read them. All the settings that mzzz said to have a look at are set as described, I don't know what else to try.

Do you have your settings set to accept cookies? Look for that setting in internet options also.

OK! It started happening to me tonight too! The one thing I did was delete my temp files & cookies, and it's working fine again. Maybe the cache gets so full it can't keep anymore ?? Hope it'll work for you, Woody!
