    In the realm of world problems, this falls to the bottom of the list .. but is annoying. Log in to wBBS, go through all the threads, they are properly "un-highlighted ". If I click on "check for updates" Icon, IF it finds one, I install it, I close/open FF .... ALL of the post I had previously viewed are now marked as "Unread ". Feature / program bug / issues with my profile/settings/installed program? This is not new to version 1.0.6, has occurred on previously versions.

    Dennis,
    I get a unhighlighted response every time that Windows BBS does not remember my signon, although I had not existed. If I see the welcome Westside everything is cool. Otherwise, in spite of the fact that I had checked to remember me, it does not. If cookies are deleted other newsgroups wiill show the username, and the encrypted password. So, all I have to do is to click enter. But BBs does not have a clue who I am. But not always. And, it is at its worst with Moz1.7.11, but I was in business with Seamonkey.
    It is safer this way, but certainly a nuisance, but there is no way that I will forget my username/password.

    Never had a login problem with wBBS. It always auto-logs me in .. on my XP or when I come through with w98. I don't believe this is a login or a wBBS issues. It only happens when I install an extension during a active session with wBBS. The install is clearing some kind of a pointer in session cookies would be my guess.
