I have a couple questions. After these last forum changes, I can no longer look at the posts since last visit, and have them update whenever I browse back to the page with the back button. I either have to hit refresh when I am there, or click on view new posts again. Why was this changed?

Geoff, the problem is on your end. I can view posts since last visit, and don't have the refresh problem (well, I do on one computer, but not the other two).

These are your browser settings, not the Forum software.

Start by clearing your cookies and deleting your history.

The forum software was upgraded to patch some holes in our security. No other reason.

The only reason i thought it was forum related is cause I have not touched my browser settings and it changed right after the upgrade that was stated. I didn't even update my computer at all.

Your cache, cookies, and temp files stack up to the point windows can't manage them. It happens to me every once in awhile too.
