The way the "mark" feature works, if you turn it on you have to click the mark button on each forum or on the main forum page click 'mark all' to make the messages as read. If you turn the marking feature off, it should automatically mark the message for you based on when you open and close your web browser. If this is not working, make sure cookies are enabled for your browser. One other person mentioned a problem like this to me, so if other people are having this problems, please post to this thread and let me know.

For not getting an email with your password, let me know two things.
1. your user id
2. your current email address
I can check into it.
If the email address in your profile for that user id was an old address, it wouldn't have gotten to you. Possibly there's a problem with sendmail on the server, but I have not seen anything else that would indicate that.

let me know
