Henry,
If you are going to read new messages, it oesn't matter if you read
the messages you just left today, or read them the next time you log on.
Let's say your high message pointer is 100, and messages up to 110
exist in the Forum. You log on and leave messages 111 thru 115 and then do a
read new. You'll get messages 100 thru 115.
Your method…you log on, read new and get messages from 100 thru 110
and then post messages 111 thru 115 and log off. Next time you log on, your
first messages in the REad New will be #'s 111 thru 115…the messages you had
left last time.
So it's not a matter IF you get them, it is only a matter or WHEN you
get the messages you have left.
Don
