Need FR help. Yes, I am logged on. When logged on, FR loads onto the general latest comments page rather than the latest articles/forum page. When I click on the Forum tab at the top, it loads the latest comments page. Can't load the Forum page no matter what. When I log out and go to FR, the Forum page automatically loads as it should. But when I log on, it goes back to the latest comments page and I still can't get to the Forum page not matter what. Scanned through my account page but don't see anything helpful. Closed down the computer and wiped out history. Still, no luck. Waited 3 hours thinking maybe FR was doing some maintenance but still can't get to the Forum page.

Help, please.
Click the “Articles” tab on that page.
ON FR main page at the top....click on “articles” from the selections given.
and do the hokie pokey.
You could also try re-formating your hard drive and re-installing the previous version of the operating system. :-)
It's just not possible.
You can’t log out and go to FR,and then log on.
It’s just not possible.
That’s right. You need a flux capacitor.
Nope. Clicking “Articles” still loads only the latest comments.
That is just odd.
I have noticed the forum page changing from time to time when I reload it. Sometimes it changes from Articles to Activity or Comments. Occasionally, the Brevity tab will also change from Text to Headers.
I thought it was my Firefox browser, since I had to quit using my old IE-based Tabbed browser as FR no longer seems to allow IE log-ins.
Clicking Browse, Forum and Comments all load the Comments page. Starting over and going to the main FR page and clicking Browse takes me back to the Comments.
Oh nicely played
I am using Windows 7. Tried IE and Firefox but no luck on either. Can’t understand why the Forum page loads when logged out but doesn’t when logged on. So, I’m guessing it’s my account.
Turn your puter off...and then reboot it.
Delete cookies and temp files. Then shut down and cold boot. See if that helps.
Are you sure you’re logged in?
There are three tabs on the page: Articles, Activity and Comments. If you’re seeing comments, yours is set on comments and it will stay that way until you click articles. Then it will stay on articles until you click one of the others. Logging on or off makes no difference to the tab setting.

Everyone - thanks for your help! May Santa bring you extra chocolate for your stockings.
Solution = Brevity Text tab
