two problems

[Jackie]

The little suitcases (actually they are supposed to look like little file folders) indicate which topics are open for discussion and which are closed with a lock in front.

The yellow lightbulbs indicate where new messages have been posted. I have had to "update" all the threads today, in order to have the domain name "wines.com" show up on the URL instead of the IP numbers. This will cause your cookie to think that all messages are "new" since your last visit. This should only happen once, then your next visit will track newer messages. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. It is the only way I could move the board without totally shutting it down for several days. The problem should disappear after a couple of visits.

I am investigating another issue too. When a reply is posted, the software automatically takes you back to the thread but does not display YOUR reply unless you press the "refresh" or "rereload" button on the browser. The old software was better in this regard. I am asking the developers to explain why this a happening and, hopefully, give me a workaround.... To be continued.
