new indicators

Posted by sunnydays on March 21, 2007, at 19:22:40

Has anyone else noticed the new indicators (the little yellow things) not showing up next to new posts? It's been happening inconsistently - sometimes they all show up, sometimes none show up, and sometimes some show up and some don't. Anyone know what's going on?

Are you using Mozilla? With internet explorer it always seemed to work for me, but now with Mozilla it says I have to download some plug in, but even when I do, I still get the thing saying I need to download a plug in, and alas, the idicators don't always work

weird....I've used Mozilla for at least a year and my indicators always work okay. I seem to recall those of us who do use Mozilla being able to get rid of that dumb message that pops up after you install plug-ins...but now I can't recall what was said...

But if you've done what the browser "wants," I can't think of why indicators would be erratic.

Commonly, only switching computers without logging out first is the problem, since the "new" computer doesn't have the cookie for the correct flags...

no changes at all - and I'm using Internet Explorer, not Mozilla. I haven't logged in or out or anything. And haven't played with cookies or anything in months, so that's not it. It's kind of annoying - makes the new stuff hard to find.

Did you happen to install the most recent IE version 7.0 (or whatever one they're on now)? I know you said nothing new, but I just remembered others have posted here that that version messed them up at Babble so they un-installed it.

Like I said...weird. And it would be annoying.

Well, since I don't switch computers it shouldn't be a problem. But the indicators still don't work. I just tried re-installing quicktime, and nothing. It's just annoying more than anything

I did those steps... still the same thing. Some posts show up with new indicators, but others that I'm sure are new at the same time I check the site don't have the indicators with them.
