Hello All
Thanks to those who alerted me to the no-lightbulb problem. On January 1, our bulletin board began to "forget" who you were and stopped using a lightbulb to show which forums contained new posts.
Our Lights are Back On!
The problem stemmed from the fact that Bulletin Board cookies are set to expire one year from today. The program added one year to '99 and got '00 which expired the cookie immediately. This is called the "Y2K -1" bug.
I have fixed those lines of code, and hope that you will appreciate the lights even more now that you have known the darkness.
