Same place you select "View your posts" and "view posts since last visit".

Never saw that (or needed that) before. When I choose View Unanswered Posts I only get page 1. Page 2 and every page thereafter says "No topics or posts met your search criteria". Same for you? Maybe overwhelmed by the number of pages (684)?

EXACTLY!

I've PM'd Minnie few days ago. Minnie said he PM'd admin., but still no cure.

At least proves I'm not the only one affected. I thought it might be because I'd just joined recently or something else I was doing wrong. Maybe if more users PM'd Minnie, cure(s) would come faster.

On regular posts I use "preview" repeatedly - sometimes just because I can't make out all four numbers of "code." Getting too old for everything!

Thanks!

I had seen in the Feedback forum that a similar Edit issue from 2006 went totally unanswered!! So I PM'd the Administator directly a few minutes ago since the Feedback Forum appears to be ineffective. I included your View Unanswered Posts issue, as well. We'll see what happens. Larry

Well, never heard from the Administrator.... surprise, surprise.

Anyway, on a related technical note, when my 27" Direct view Sony TV has a black screen (like between a show and a commercial) the screen looks like there is light leakage coming from above and below the screen (looks kind of like "mood lighting"). An active picture is not realy affected but I was kind of curious. Is this something that a deGausser would fix?

Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Oops. Keep forgetting to Login. That last one was from me, the OP.

Can't hurt anything to try manually degaussing set.
I seem to recall a Philips set that had a bad vertical output IC giving a similar effect as you describe. (It "appeared" way out of focus, but could tell video was there)
Then again you say an "active picture not realy affected."
If active picture were impure and degaussing didn't improve, set could have deformed/detached shadow mask.

The picture is totally fine and the light intrusion is only visible on a black screen. Funny that you mention the shadow mask (whatever that is) because the light look like a shadow, except that it is all in reverse.. a light shadow on a black screen. Cool!!..... maybe not. It looks like light leakage of some kind. Like daylight leaking through the edges of a window's blackout curtain.

I will try the degausser this weekend. Is the shadow mask something that I could manually fix (tape, glue, mask adhesive, gum...LOL)?

Sad Is that the most likely cause?
