Thanks for the heads-up,

Is that why I keep getting this error message whenever I try to change settings (such as show all threads, show new threads, show all forums, etc. etc.) That has been happening for the last few days.

Thanks,

I can recreate the error easily, and also get around it the same way each time, but it is really annoying what I have to do to change options.

I'm not feeling so good tonight, so maybe I'll post the process tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
