I've been grabbing a bunch of pics recently, and I'm playin'! The dog in question is my beautiful puppy (he's almost 5 years old, but he's my puppy). It'd be nice if our old avatars stayed with our old posts but, since they don't, changing them just keeps 'em guessing. At the moment, Mike Myers and his SNL "Sprockets" shtick fits my mood.

Stay tuned.

Other than some internet-related issues, I don't often have problems with this site. It is set up a little different than most web forums I use (and they mostly use 'vbulletin', which this site does not, so its differences are noticeable).

I am wondering on the reverse video problem you had, if you hadn't accidentally clicked and dragged a little, selecting some or all of the page. This happens to me every once in a while, and is remidied by just going to a non-black area and clicking.
Thanks Timba--I used Firefox for awhile, but got frustrated with graphics issues it kept hitting. Might try it again to see it it's improved from a few years ago (or if I have improved from a few years ago!)

Thanks for your suggestions, Gumby, Pugsy, and ElPap. That blackened page event was too weird. No, I hadn't highlighted anything by accident. And it came up that way even when I closed down the website and reopened it several times. This happened on my work computer, which is kept very clean.

I have deleted cookies using both the Tools menu at top, and the button at bottom of the Forum homepage. This seems to have corrected one thing, allowing me to go to the first unread post when I click the little orange box. But for 9 months I have never once clicked on the link saying "Return to CPAP..." I have always always used the navigation button at the top left, and it has always refreshed the home page with what I've read. I liked it better, but in the big scheme of things, I guess I can probably adjust.
