I remember when I was a kid

I remember when I was a kid in the Pacific Northwest. The in thing to wear to school were loggers boots (no spikes). Those were a pain to lace and tie.

Closing quote

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

Quotes (and associated issues)

Is there anyway to view the newest posts first when reading a thread? I have to scroll to the bottom and then select the last page shown and then scroll to the bottom again to read the newest post.

Sun, 11/01/2009 - 3:04pm

You can

You can go to the last page of a multi page thread without going to the bottom first by clicking on the last page number shown directly under the first post of the thread. A lot of forum software allows you to select to go to the last post but either it doesn't exist in this forum or it hasn't been turned on.

The one thing I don't understand why when you make a post on a multi page thread it takes you back to the first page of the thread once the post is accepted.

Lots of good folks with great ideas here though. grin

RE You Can

Thanks. I'm a real novice (some would say a dinosaur) at this stuff, but I enjoy this site - participants seem to be a great bunch of folks overall.

Unread posts.

If you use the "Unread Posts" selection from the menu, it takes you to the new posts in each thread ... even the multi-page ones.

Unread or recent

Try the "unread posts" selection. It works quite good if you "mark the forums read" after each session.

Try the "recent posts" too; you may like it better.

If the cat were dead, how would it meow when you pulled the tail? And if there were no cat, then how can you state it is dead?

Hey! You just observed the cat meowing and changed the outcome!
