Well its been 6 months since the last major software change happened here. Would't it be interesting if tomorrow April 1st had another change ?
Back to normal on both IE11 and Chrome now.
If its not broke - don't break it!

Loaded Firefox and the thread avatars are normal size.
Someone is playing with the bits and bytes again. I am using Chrome as a browser and the 'avatar' for threads on page one of this forum at about 3 pixels by 3 pixels - on page 2 they are the 'normal' size - about 100 pixesl by 100 pixels.
The 'mini thread avatars' are also happening when view with IE11 in addition to Chrome.
Hope the techs are having fun! [/sarcasam]
BaltACD samfp1943 BaltACD zugmann Balt, just turn off your computer, open all breakers, pull the battery knife switch, wait 2 minutes then restart. That should do it. I'd be happy just to get spell check back. No matter the color. Didn't have to do the locomotive restart routine - just went to bed and woke up 6 hours later. Balt: Your problem is that this started on St. Patricks's Day.. You have been the victim of Gremlins Had it been a St. Patrick's day issue, I would have expected everything to be Green.

Isn't that the "human restart routine?"

Back in the mid '60's, in the relatively early days of mainframe computers, they came with system analysts (software gurus), who spent their days and nights reading memory dumps and making changes to the operating software. They worked in machine language and really understood the software. In later years, as the software got more sophisticated there was less need for local tweaking, but nobody really understood the software. If anything needed to be corrected, it was by patches on patches. (Let's see if this works, and if it causes any other problems.) I suspect that our PC's may have reached that level of maturity. By the way "software" back then usually meant what's referred to as "operating system" today.

Clicked the forum this morning and the Red is back on unread threads.
My computer has NOT been turned off or rebooted and it went 'to sleep' on the Trains forum.
Note-in the other forums the red unread threads still existed.
Balt,
Might want to check your computer.....I see red titles for threads I have not viewed, and and gray titles on ones I have already viewed.

One gets the impression on this end that for years and years and years the TRAINS Magazine forums has been a continuous quick fix arrangement, with everything Band-Aid quick fixes. Maybe the present team is slowly unscrambling the big mess that resulted.
Personally, I’m very, very torn between what the Kalmbach Internet team’s objective is. Is it trying to get out of the forum business without alienating bread and butter subscribers, or is it making a valiant attempt to extricate itself from an abyss? IF it is the latter, that abyss might have been dug miles deep and it might be many moons for the extrication process to be complete.

When I went to work - unread topics were being displayed in a red font and topics that had been read were in gray.
I come home and all topics are in gray - both read and unread!
Can the tecno nerds please give it a break!
