The Forum display on the Message Board home page (http://benefitslink.com/boards/) should be "sticky" -- your choices there should remain the same when you return to the page, even if you've logged out, and even if you've closed the browser. Might be a leftover cookie causing the problem -- suggest you try CTRL-F5 to fully refresh the page, then adjust the visibility and see what happens. (You might need to login again to post, but the home page view should remain even if you're not logged in.) If that doesn't work, let me know - we'll figure it out.

Thanks - we'll get the mobile version fixed; not sure what's gone wrong there. Appreciate the heads up!

Thanks, Tom -- Please go to the window that's treating you as not being logged in, and hit the Control-F5 combination in order to refresh the window. The resulting window should show you as being logged in (i.e. "Tom Poje" appearing towards the top right part of the window, rather than "Sign In"). Regarding the viewing of new posts, I'm not sure what would have been causing the issue last week (when we were still running the previous version of the message boards software), but please let me know if you're able to view new posts when you've (1) logged in, and (2) clicked on "Activity" (a new tab that's in the menu towards the top of the page). I think you'll be pleased at all the ways you can view new and other recent activity (including posts) on the message boards!

Might be a good time to check your profile, though, to be sure the email address listed there is current. That allows you to retrieve your password automatically should it ever be necessary. And it allows you to be notified of new topics ... and receive any possible-and-rare administrative announcements via email.

Ask and ye shall receive: http://benefitslink.com/links/20161011-131258.html (Released by IRS late this afternoon.)

Thanks so much for the thought. We're at the western edge of NC, in the mountains -- we;re actually in dire need of rain. Thoughts are with all of those on the east coast - worst possible scenario for them. From what we are seeing on the TV, Matthew made some pretty bad messes in NC. Hope you and Dave are A-OK.

Judging by auto-responses to today's newsletters, lots and lots of business closures in FL/SC. Not looking good for the FL east coast. Dave is helping family in Sebastian/Vero Beach -- and I am remembering why we headed for the hills moved to the NC mountains some years back. Stay safe, everyone.

Earlier this week, EBSA rolled out a "new and improved" website. Just came across this page: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa/employers-and-advisers/plan-administration-and-compliance/reporting-and-filing/form-5500 -- and remembered this question. Forms, schedules and instructions going back to 1995 -- not quite all the way to 1990, but maybe an easier interface than the IRS for those years.

... and there's more: http://benefitslink.com/newsletters/2016/2016_07_11_retirement_bulletin.html

And then there's this: The new rules contain an unusual exception: the revised tax return deadlines do not apply to C corporations with fiscal years ending on June 30 until taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025 (however, the revised Form 5500 extension deadline does apply effective in 2016 to plans and corporations with June 30 year ends). http://www.relius.net/News/TechnicalUpdates.aspx?T=P&1=1&ID=1072 (via http://benefitslink.com/newsletters/2015/2015_09_16_welfare.html)

Indeed, this month BenefitsLink is celebrating 20 years. (Only one more year 'til beer!) Thanks to all who have made that possible!

The celebration this year -- 3.14 15 -- is at 9:26:53
