I've noticed lately that my "Active Topics" cookie / date stamp isn't being updated. I generally browse SFN from one of two computers, and the problem seems to be present on both. Any ideas?
Is there a particular page (the home page?) I should visit in order to make sure my cookie refreshes, or a particular page I should exit from? I haven't consciously changed my browsing behaviour in recent times. I generally hit "Active topics" and then open up the individual threads in new tabs (I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.2). It might have started around the time of the server upgrade or a little after, but that could just be my imagination trying to assign blame anywhere but with myself. 
On a similar vein, I'd like to be able to synch the cookie between my two machines so that when I move between them I can easily stay "up to date". I already have the software to do all that, I'd just like to confirm exactly which cookie holds the relevant information. I may just write a utility to do that job specifically. My list of SFN cookies is below if it helps:

| We'll have to wait for our webmaster to answer the questions above, but I always wind up selecting "last 12 hours" or "last 2 hours" or whatever seems appropriate, because what the forums claim to be my last time on often is not correct, and I think it has something to do with the difference in time zones between my home and the server (but I'm not sure). I know, however, that at times if I (for example) I sleep for 10 hours, and log back on with the "active topics" set to "Last visit on...," I will often miss topics which were last active between 8 and 10 hours ago (or so). So, I always change it to at least however many hours it's been since my last time on, or more if I'm unsure. |

| I use the same method as Dave. I find it's the most reliable. (Well, not that my memory is all that reliable in the first place, but hey, it works better for me) |
