When I log onto BBF from my computer (using Firefox), (and also if I check the option to keep me logged in) at the home screen I still see the "Login" prompt, and no "new posts" item. Once I click into any subforum, it shows me as logged in and I get a "new posts" option. But never from the home screen....unless I log in from the BB (I don't use the WAP site). Then it recognizes me immediately. Why is this?

Not sure, almost sounds like your cookies can't refresh fast enough after the login. Try clearing your cookies and see if that will solve the problem. I have used firefox plenty of times with never an issue.

For the record, clearing cookies didn't fix it. It's no big deal, but it does seem odd.
