Unread posts links gone missing?

[slinkp]

There used to be two links at the top of the page when I log in:
- unread replies to my posts, and unread posts since last login.

Those were the two main ways I found stuff to read on here ... and they're both gone!

Can they come back?

Thanks,

They still show for me. Using Firefox FYI.

They're both showing for me. There's no account setting to shut them on or off, they're on by default.

Weird!
I'm using Firefox too.

They used to be right above the "Main forums" section ... screenshot attached

That's odd. Not only are the links missing, the Hello and the date are missing. It's as if you weren't logged in.

Try disabling all your Firefox plugins and addons and see if it comes back. Whatever the problem is, I can't see how it could be the forum software or settings.

Clear all the cookies and history and start again...

There is no way to overestimate the weird s**t that browsers do to web pages.  It changes almost weekly.

Found the "problem"!

The little thingy in the top-right corner of the forum ... if you hover it says "Shrink or expand the header".
Try clicking that.... and then click it again.  See?

Somehow I did that by accident and couldn't figure out WTF happened....

   Now if only we can remember that the next time it disappears...
