PC Mech Question

hey everyone,
up until yesterday when i would open pc mech, under my user name it would tell me how many threads and posts there had been since my last visit. now it just says "view new posts." and another thing, when i view the new posts, it only shows like 10 of them. i know that can't be right after i haven't signed on in like 24-hours. i looked through my personal options, but i didn't see anything of relevance. is there something i'm missing?

That happens when you're not logged in. I sometimes get logged out for some reason (cookies?) as well.

I don't think that's the problem, because it still says, "Welcome back doctorgonzo" so I am obviously still logged in. Somebody had to change something somewhere (that should narrow it down a bit!)

Hey guys, your sigs are probably gone because you are using the quick reply box to answer. They don't show up unless you check the "Show Signature" box below where you type your quick reply.

Yeah, when you go into the old "Post Reply" area it is automatically checked (at least mine is anyway).
