  1. Cookies/2 computers

    Other than needing to log in, none that I can think of. It's equivalent to erasing the cookies on one machine. There is also a spelling checker cookie for words that you add.
  2. Forums via email?

    It's nice to have the threads tied together and there are several view options. I had the same initial reservations as you but have come to appreciate the forums.
  3. Forums via email?

    The forum can't be used as a mail list. The point of getting an email from a topic that you create or another is to have notification of additions to the conversation. You can also enable a 'subscription' that gives you an email notification of any new topic posted to forums of your choice. Read the Help topic: Email Notification of new messages
  4. Site Issue

    Note the 'Fast Reply' button lower down. That generates a reply with no quote.
  5. View New Posts Not Working

    I've always had the residue. I never log off but do close the browser between visits. It's now been several hours since my last visit and the residue has cleared. I agree that logging off/on clears the residue. That's always been the case. I just had 6 new posts. Clicked mark all forums as read. Clicked view new posts again. The 6 items are still there as residue but now marked as read. (Back after a few more hours and the 6 residual items are gone.) Sounds about right to me.
  6. View New Posts Not Working

    It has actually worked like this forever. The read topics eventually are removed from the new posts list. There is some sort of time factor (2 hours after being marked as read?). What you follow are the new posts highlighted in orange and ignore those that you have marked as read.
  7. Well... you can't add a button to the Standard toolbar... But you can... Recreate the Standard toolbar using the Custom toolbar. Add one or more additional buttons to the Custom toolbar. And replace the Standard toolbar with the Custom toolbar in your layout.
  8. Wish List Forum

    This board should be considered to be an official WG support tool. TMG-L is a user-to-user peer discussion list. John suggested that my initial response in this reply was brusque. Fair enough. That wasn't intended. Basically, a wish list forum and wish list forum polls fall into the same bucket and Bob's reply in the referenced topic really covers both. Glenn asked "Will there be a Wish List Forum..." and Bob answered "No". Users are encouraged to post their ideas about program features and suggestions both on this board and on TMG-L.)
  9. Wish List Forum

    Just start a topic for discussion in the appropriate Support forum (TMG5, TMG5UK or VCF).
  10. Wish List Forum

    Read through this topic. Some discussion about polls and wish lists TMG-L is a better place for extended discussions of user-proposed features.
  11. Can't Chat -- it fails

    Bill, Bob and I just tried the chat and it worked fine for us. I'm running WinXP SP-2, IE6 and Sun Java. Jim
  12. Edit the Topic line

    I would think that it is better to have the generalized topic and edit the content as necessary. I'll fix that for you.
