You know, now that I think about this some more, maybe your and Rachael's problem are connected. What browser version are you using? (I'm thinking maybe you both use really old Netscape browsers and maybe they are confused by all the redirects we have going on here. Maybe your cookies are not being recognized for this reason - even though you have them. Very strange.) We'll get to the bottom of this.
I'm running Netscape Communicator 4.5. When I enter the site there are no new-post/comments counters. When I go to the log in page I am greeted with "hi steve" at the top of the page, but until I enter my password and log in it will not display the new-post/comments counters. And the font size on my system is so small that it hurts my eyes. 1 vote for bigger or customizable.
Oh yeah, the counters do seem to be working once I log in. Maybe I was in error about them not being accurate... I just logged out, erased the cookie from every computer which had it then logged back in. "Hi Steve" was absent from the top of the log in page but all went accordingly. I quit the program, relaunched it and entered the site. No counters were visible. I went to the log in page, was greeted by the "hi steve" sign, logged in and the counters appeared displaying my morning's previous lurkings.

I take it back, the post/comments counters are acting goofy. Mine say that there are 4 new posts by tom moody but I have been to his page a few times and there don't appear to be any new posts.

There are 4 posts the system thinks you have not read on Tom's page. These posts have all expired from Tom's page and are in his archive. If you click on Tom Moody you won't see them, but if you click on [4 new posts] it will show you just the 4 new (to you) posts.
Let me know if that doesn't work.
