Um, where did the "updated topics" link go?

FYI....I know you can get to it through http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/index.php?action=unreadreplies but it's just a bit annoying to not have the actual clickable link available anymore. Much easier to be able to keep track of replies this way and not by manually checking..... ;)

not sure what the updated topics link was...I usually just go to the new replies to your posts...and then when I am done with that, scroll through the list....hmmmmm maybe I was doing things the long way....everyone has always said I take the difficult road the majority of the time, and if I try the easier route I do it a$$ backwards....do no surprise here....

LOL....

Well, it's basically the same as new replies, but the link is titled "Updated Topics." It used to be somewhere at the top of any page you were on if you were logged in and now, no longer. Well, I guess by the looks of nobody else mentioning the same, I must be the only one who doesn't have it on my screen anymore.... ???

From what I recall, I had all of that....the total time logged in, the unread posts (or "updated topics," as I remember it :)), and the unread posts since last visit, all in a column between the top thread in the list and the header/navigation chart (my term for the thing at the top that says "Canada Immigration Forum > Immigration Topics > Family Class Sponsorship > etc" to show where you are in the website). And now that info is gone and I have nothing between the list of threads and the header......and apparently I'm the only one to have this occur. Cue Twilight Zone music...... :p ???

OMG, Stumpedmom, I have finally found the problem. My moron self hit that little minus or plus sign you'll see if you take a look up at the top right corner. The one that says "shrink or expand the header." Well I apparently hit the minus one day which is why it "dissappeared" (actually just contracted to hide). My profile icon, show unread posts since last visit, show new replies to your posts, and total time logged in have all returned. Glad I finally figured that out ::) Thanks :)
