Checking and unchecking options in Forum Settings and clicking the "Save" button has no affect. When Settings are re-displayed, all options are checked again. It's been this way for a considerable ...
I originally tried to filter by Unread but got no matches. That's when I clicked each activity from the past 4 months to attempt clearing the red circle. No go.
However, today the ghost circle mysteriously disappeared. That's good.
I learned something in this thread but still don't understand it. I can log into the Forum, I can post comments to any unlocked conversation...but the banner at the bottom reads:
Internet Forum Requires Membership for Participation - Click to Join
Although I've never previously clicked that banner, I have been participating by posting comments. Does "membership" solely mean to upload an image from my computer...oh, and to be spammed by every post in said participated forum? It's weird, right?
Bruce...glad your mystery Red dot disappeared. Now you said that you say "joining the internet" under the original dot. Did you just join again....because I noticed that once Subscribed, it stays that way...posted this observation in my other Forum reply. Seems like I would have to Unsubscribe using the profile/setting/subscription..
To me, 'membership' does seem to be the ability to post images, because previously CurtB and myself could always respond to postings, but never insert a clipboard image into the Reply boxes. The 'Join' apparently was always there but we never clicked it. You said you were already a internet member, but still saw the 'Join' at the bottom...maybe you could expand this thought.
Another thing...you mentioned in your reply above that you're being "Spammed by every post"... are you getting spams from within the Forum users or to say your Cox Forum emails?
Also, Becky from Cox, below posted that the "Save" of Forum Settings is definitely Broken...issue was passed on...Thanks CrutB for opening this Can of worms"
