    Cookie issue

    I'm not the only one with a browser cookie issue on this board, right? It seems even worse than before my absence. Before, if I left a tab open with the board pulled up, it'd eventually mark everything as 'read' unless I was refreshing/opening threads every so many minutes. But now, things are...

    Thread marked-as-read cookie issues

    Alright, seriously, is there anything we can do about this issue? Also, semi-related, I've never had this happen this way before, but I just logged in and the forum shows no new posts even though there's numerous new posts from today. :confused:

    Millers River project

    This is part of GLX but separating it into its own thread. Anyone have documents of what they're doing? I was under I-93 next to Boston Sand & Gravel and found two work sites.

    Lynn Central Square

    I've always wanted to explore this area ( preferably when it is light out, for at least two reasons :rolleyes: ), but never have much time.
