IE does have bad problems with it's cookie cache becoming corrupted, and it seems they have not addressed this with IE 7.
Microsoft themselves suggest that you first delete all Internet files, then delete all cookies to fix any issues with it's cookie index.
Other things like firewalls and internet security software can effect how javascript, cookies, etc. work. Changing settings in these programs and security levels can effect how web sites work.

thanks boRg.
Anyways, this problem appears both using IE 6 and Firefox. Due to - I beleive some cookies or so - when everything is clean and there is no cookies or sessions, active topics dont show up.
When I obtain some cookies, I dont know from where, - maybe this forum ? ;-) ... active topics appear... and I dont know the reason.
When I post, ie, active topics work after my post. weird.

This is starting to sound like some type of corruption in one of the files or some modification you have made to the forum which is screwing things up.
Maybe best to re-upload the original files again and see if that resolves the problem.
You may also want to check you have not changed the local that the code runs in by changing the LCID within the code.

oops! in fact, I have tried to insert lcid=1034 (spain) in active_topics.asp to be sure the forum is dealing with the date properly (BTW, changes made with full license), but nothing has changed.
might be a server problem, what I should check in the server?, is dedicated. thanks.

You shouldn't need to chnage the LCID number, and this could well be why you are getting the problem.
Remove any LCID number changes from the forum and see if the forum begins to strat working correctly in the next few days. Also clear out your cookie cache.
The LCID number change was only required in version 7.x, in version 8.x dates use ISO internation date and time formats to prevent date errors bewteen locales, databases, etc. By changing the LCID you could mess this up.

But what to do when active topics aren't active topics anymore? Let's say you use home computer and office's computer. Every time when you access a forum they will show last active topics based on date/time when you accessed forum from THAT computer, not based the last visit irrespective what machine it was used to do that...
Of course it is based on cookies, but there is some workaround, knowing the fact that this info is stored into Last_visit field?
