>Mary - for reasons that I'm too stupid to even contemplate, the problem seems to have gone away on its own on PSB. I am suddenly "flag free" except for the last couple of posts. I still have this same problem on PB which doesn't seem to acknowledge that I just visited there within the last day or so. Thanks for the suggestions - I'll give them a try soon. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I, too, have been sick but not too sick to stay off the computer. K
ksvt ~ the way it works for me, the flags stay during a single session, but are reset by the next session.
