php boards are not without their bugs... ...this is one of the most stable and reliable forums I use... ...some are much worse! :roll:

A couple of days ago everything stayed orange for me, no matter how often I clicked the threads. And sometimes all orange is gone a split second after I have logged in. You never know, except that this phpBB is very obviously buggy. :?

yep.. when mine starts acting up, I just delete all my aegidian.org cookies and log in again.. usually it will be 3-4 weeks before I need to do it again..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

I had that suspicion as well. After a couple of days I completely reset Safari, and the problem was gone.

(That doesn't solve the problem of the vanishing orange after an involuntary log-off, however. Good that I get one of those only twice or thrice a day... :? )
