Are you using Safari on the iPhone or some other mobile device? My iPhone does that after connecting. It doesn't maintain a connection with a page, but initiates a new connection for each page, so it looks like you connect then disco. This causes your Unread flags to be reset.
If this is on a PC, are you using a non-satellite broadband connection? I know for a fact that cable or ADSL do not disconnect until you close the page. If you are using cable/ADSL, perhaps there is a setting in Safari to maintain the connection?
Why the hell are you using Safari on a PC??? Google Chrome FTW. _________________ Core meltdown (commonly known as a meltdown) is an accident scenario in nuclear reactors, and is one of the possible modes of failure for light water reactors, during which the reactor pile turns into a pile of reactor.

Mac FTL. From a gaming standpoint, anyways.
Let's see how long this domain lets me hotlink this pic.

Not much of a computer gamer these days. My games all seem to be console based now... I have been contemplating getting some of the Halflife stuff for the mac, now that it is out, but my main computer is a laptop, and I have kind of gotten over mice, so I don't actually have on right now...
I have been considering getting an iPad, so that I can go more minimal on my computer than my laptop, but I haven't gotten there yet. It will depend on how useful the apps are in the long run... _________________ A west bean pays the fish a soup. |

Would it be that difficult to set up our board so that URLs were automatically shortened when posted? I've seen it on a lot of other boards where, instead of the full link being shown, just the first 15 or 20 characters are and then it ends in "..." if it is longer. _________________ The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. - Albert Einstein

The same swell in spambots is happening at another messageboard I frequent.

I got a spam PM a few days ago. At least one spammer has figured out how to get past the "one post to access all other sections" security. _________________ Core meltdown (commonly known as a meltdown) is an accident scenario in nuclear reactors, and is one of the possible modes of failure for light water reactors, during which the reactor pile turns into a pile of reactor.
