The numbers in the parenthesis is how many you haven't read on that forum... ooops, needed more clarification. sorry...
If yours is like mine, the majority of forums will have no numbers, but a few will.
On my list, the forum about step parenting has over (1036) posts that I haven't read.

I see. Thank you!

Dotsie, did Lola get a hold of you about not being able to view the forums. From what I understand, she can receive your PMs, but with a security message, she can read her PMs, and she can navigate around the board, but she can't get on the forums. She prefers not to change her security settings, esp. since she gets some sort of warning when receiving your PMs.

JawJaw, Dots hasn't posted since yesterday... do you know if Lola's issue requires a question to the techs?

I'm sure Lola will figure something out... she's one smart cookie, but I can imagine her frustration in the meantime. I remember Dots saying something early on after the update about the gals across the pond not being able to get in, with the exception of M.Ash. Could a global security issue exist?

Gims, we're working it. Thanks...JJ

Great... didn't know whether to say anything or not.
