    I didn't notice it before in the regular message bases when using them before   
   I started using QWK.  I have switched to just reading the bases without quick   
   for now since I couldn't keep track of new messages reliably the other way.  I   
   don't have my BBS up at the moment to test it myself.  I am really thinking it   
   has something to do with packing message bases as well. I notice the problem   
   most often when I've gone overnight/a day or two between logging in to download   
   QWK packets. If its been an hour or two and I log back it it seems to remember   
   my last read point correctly.   
    This problem shows itself on whatever setups both 20forbeers and Quantum   
   Wormhole are using.  There was a couple other ones as well, but I don't   
   remember them off the top of m head.   
      
   Let me know if I can help in any way to help figure out what is causing the   
   issue.
