Frustrated trying to read entire thread with all replies -- keeps closing the replies

Very frustrated -- Used to be able to read all replies to a thread without having to keep opening the individual replies. Trying to read one thread that has three pages of replies.

If i change to flat view, i can only see 10 of them. When i hit next page, they are all closed and can't see them in flat view.......

Would love to be able to read the entire thread with all the replies in order as I used to be able to do (years ago)...this way is very frustrating, and difficult to see which one's i've read and which ones i haven't read.

Anyone else have this issue and maybe a way to view them all at once?

Thanks for everyone's help

This is a corrupted cookie issue that has been plaguing the boards for more than a year now and is EXTREMELY annoying. Let me know which browser and version and OS you are using and I'll try to talk you through deleting old cookies so maybe a new one will work ... at least on the ANCESTRY side of the boards. The cookies are holding for me (once I deleted the old bad one) on the Ancestry side but NOT on the RootsWeb side. A few people seem to think this glitch is mostly hitting those of us using Windows versions older than Windows 7. Not sure what that might have to do with cookies...but then it wouldn't be the first computer issue to puzzle me.

Hi Joan,

Thank you for the "tip", but i always delete ALL cookies when i close my browser/internet sessions.
I also use multiple computers, and they are all different operating systems (XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8)...I have this problem on all of them. Same with versions of internet explorer, i use different versions (including google chrome also), so I don't think it is just the operating system or windows system that is the issue. I'll try a few things on teh different computers to see if teh browsers may be part of the issue.
