>Rich,
>You HAVE seen the combo at the top of the upper screen that divides your messages by date if there are more than 200 unread and they cover more than one date?

No, I just looked, I don't have this combo. Maybe you only get it if you're a premier member. The only combo at the top of my screen is to choose a forum, with a button next to it saying "Go." I never use this because I'm only ever in the FoxPro forum.

>Also, click the "Recover last session" check box before you log in, then look at what's available before using the 'yellow note' icon to refresh just your new messages. Before Michel added this checkbox unread messages would disappear everytime you lost your connection, but now you can always pick up where you left off.

Thanks, I've used that to recover from a lost connection before. It doesn't solve my problem of coming to a new session and not seeing some of the messages which were posted after my last session closed normally.

Thank you very much for your time!
