Lately I've been logging on several times a day. A recent thread (Hourly charge?/3D STUDIO) posted 22 messages in about 2 days, but I missed about 4 of them. I use WinCim, and when I log on it tells me my last log on time. Is this when I last entered or exited? If I'm on for an hour downloading, etc., will I "see" the messages that have been posted since log on? I've also been getting the same message twice sometimes if I log on, say, twice in ten minutes.

The logon time and date indicates your entry to the forum. I am not sure why you missed those 4 messages. If you spend an hour looking around, during which 10 new messages are posted, you should get those messages next time you come in. You can also get those 10 messages with the Message/Freshen Messages menu item. I don't know if those Freshened Messages will affect your clock when you next come in however. I do not know enough about the mechanics of the software to explain your occurrences, but I too have noticed overlaps, getting the same messages if I log on twice in 10 minutes.
