If you are referring to the
icon, then yes I am seeing them.
When you logged out did you clear your browser's cache and temporary Internet file areas before logging back in? What you are describing sounds like session data in one or more cookies was messed up.
Others methods that may be easier for you to get to the new posts are...
- Use the page number links that appear at the upper right or lower right of the thread to jump directly to a page. These links will only appear if a thread has more than one page.
- Use the icon that appears to the right of a thread listed on the forum page. It will take you directly to the last post in the thread. You can then work backwards.
