Couple of questions:

1. Is there any way to set a certain color/size font as a default for my posts?

2. When signing on, i click on the box "sign me in automatically..." however, whenever i come back to the site, i still have to sign in manually.

3. When i click on "view new posts..." it doesn't seem to pick up all of the new ones. I remember reading somewhere that you have a default of 1 day but i sign on daily (several times in a 24 hour period). However, i find that i can go into someone's journal, and there will be several posts that were not picked up (usually from the previous day or so).

I think that's it, for now.

Well, the default size and color is the one I am writing this in. Unless you have your computer set on a special font, then it should just be set on the one title default under color and normal under size when you post messages.

As for the signing on thing, if you have your computer set to clear cookies and/or cache automatically, it will cancel the cookie for signing in automatically. You would have to check your computers preference settings on that. Otherwise, clicking the box should work.

On the new posts thing... I usually check the 1 day deal because sometimes I check one thing then sign out, and miss stuff when I just click the recent posts. The 1 day thing is only seen from the main forum screen after you sign in. Its on the left side opposite the place where "view recent posts" is.

Hope this helps ya out.

Erica, I am going to make sure the Scale Fairy knows how she has been mistreating you! (She listens to me sometimes!)

1. Sorry, not possible. There may be a mod available to do this. I'll look into it.

2. Like Mike says, it's probably cookie or cache related on your computer settings. Click on the "Tools" button for your browser and check how long you're keeping "history" in your cache. Let me know if you need help allowing cookies.
(Note: NO cookies allowed while on the weight loss phase...)

3. Same as 2 above.

There's 2 ways to view historical data on the forum.

(Not Logged In)
On the home page only, there's the dropdown menu button to view past 1day - 2weeks - 1 month etc...
This does not affect the posts viewed since your last visit if you're not logged in.

(Logged In)
Same as above (drop down menu button)
On the home page only, there's the "View posts since last visit" link.
This displays only new posts since your last visit. Be sure to use this link when you're logged in.
NOTE: Once you're logged in, ALL posts are marked as viewed and start fresh once you log out.
