Forum Q & A & RULES

This excerpt from Robert Fulghum's book seems appropriate for the forum's rules:

ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten.

"Share everything.

Play fair.

Don’t hit people.

Put things back where you found them.

Clean up your own mess.

Don’t take things that aren’t yours.

Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.

Wash your hands before you eat.

Flush.

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life—learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.

And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned—the biggest word of all—LOOK.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are—when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together."

I don't believe there is a setting for this.

When you open a multipage thread, read through it, close it, and find later on in the day that other users have commented on it- re-opening that thread will basically take you to where you left off by showing the new comments.

However, when you open a multipage thread, read through it all, close it, and reopen it later on when no new comments are on it, it will start you off at the beginning. That is the difference between the two scenarios you described. When there is nothing new to show you, it starts you off at the beginning. When in the thread, just click the page number to take you to where you left off.

Another trick I have found useful: if you type out a response but do not commit with the "reply" at the bottom of your message what you typed will hang around every time you look at the thread. If you really want to get rid of it (for example thought better of it) highlight all the text & photos, delete from the input box, and then actually commit the empty message. There will be an angry cat photo but the unwanted message has now been permanently deleted.

I thought Aussies loved Spam...or is that Brits? Same thing.

I suspect you haven't been issued your custom and electrified Nad clamps, yet.



Makes for a very accommodating and docile/genial membership.......and quite comfortable, too boot.

We have very benevolent sadists as Mods and OverLords.

We are Lucky not to have to use our brains......very much.
