The very first time you come to the forums, the lightbulbs don't appear. Could that be it?

In particular this happens the first time you visit from a new machine, or after otherwise changing browser. The lightbulbs are shown or not shown based on the value of a cookie.
I never did get a good grip on what makes the lightbulbs do what they do. So I'm lost too. I find that only about half the time do they provide usefull information. Most of the time I'm still looking at the time/date stamp.
