Thanks for sharing that with us, Kept!

  NO, it's not just you.........I'm doing the same thing.......

[Kept]

Hey I found you two here

Ha!  Okay, you were asking a question!  Ha!  I read it wrong!   

Um... Well no, I don't get lost here    but I don't often try to find things either.  I did try to find something for Byron this morning but that seems like a loooong time ago!

[hopeful]

Hey, Kept, do you remember who said what you're looking for?  That helped me before.  Then you can just look through their posts till you see the title, etc.

Hi All

The boards are very busy of late.  As you all know I and Taffy spend much time here and even I when waking in the morning have many unread topics.  This morning 2 pages.

Just a tip.  I find sometimes when you click unread and do not look at all threads the subsequent list gets shorter.  There is an option View All Unread Topics and then that brings back a much longer list. 

There is not much moving taking place and we remove redirect threads after 24 hours.

Average registrations per day: 2.47
Average posts per day: 114.41
Average topics per day: 10.31
Average online per day: 16.03
Average page views per day: 3071.54

There you have it, the boards are busy, post wise, and views.

If you missed it, when looking at unread topics, the button is not just an indicator, if you click on it, it will take you to the last unread post in that thread.

Blessings

I agree, this forum format is not the most user friendly. Once you lose a thread it seems to get raptured or something

This is such a handy tip.  Saves a lot of clicking and scrolling.

Hi Holly

I am surprised you did not know that. When I found out I posted a sticky in the Welcome board,  sometimes the stickie I post have good tips, but that one I see only had 3 reads, guess I should put it in FAQ.

Blessings

You need FORUM GPS :)

[Loveroftruth]

You need FORUM GPS :)

 

Good one JM

Hi Holly

I am surprised you did not know that.

   Um... well... I did know that because I did read your stickie!
I was just showing my extreme appreciation for it by mentioning it.     Just feeling talkative I guess.

[Cardinal]

You need FORUM GPS :)

  I do for sure.........

[Taffy]

Hey Guys..

Really makes no difference for mine....I struggle on every board

[Cardinal]

  Taffy, I just love your pix additions, LOL.........

Hey Guys..

Really makes no difference for mine....I struggle on every board

I told yall one time that "on HERE" I have to go "backwards."  The last page is always NUMBER
ONE!! If the thread has twenty pages, the First Page will be Number twenty!  Now, how's "that"
for getting lost.  Yes miss a lot, don't have "time" for it all anyway!  Just scavenging around
but I did want to at least "speak" to:

Fireinfolding!

I "see" YOU!!!!!!!!!

Wave!!

Love, C.

If "she's" like me, she may not "see" this hello.

I am always in the natural in real life not "hearing" WHERE "sounds" are coming from, and
I think "Oh, my, someone's gonna speak to me, and I can't find them."  And then "they'll
think I just didn't speak!" 

Yes, as someone said elsewhere, and I read it this morning, I am amazed at the resilence
of the human "spirit!"  Are you not "glad" for the ONE "HE" gave you?

Hallelujah! Abraham "believed" God when there was NO WAY He could put trust in any other
than God...................its sorta akin to so many things, isn't it? ha
So I figure, where ever I am supposed to "be" there the wind will blow me.

No "struggle" in that ...........TAFFY!

  Awww thanks.......I LOVE flowers.......my flower gardens are my quiet time with Lord sometimes. That's why I hate winter; I have to watch what I worked on for 7 months die. I can't imagine how God must feel......

I figured it was just me!  I know my XL forum (not mine, I visit it) is easier to navigate, and there I can subscribe to threads I find interesting without having to post to make it easier to find next time.  They use a "user CP" that helps alot.  Gotta say though, that the need to search for things has an end in itself, you end up finding a lot more topics of interest.  Oh, and before ya run to see what XL forum is, it's about harley sportster motorcycles.

Taffy that happened to me and its a setting on your account page that you can change and it will go back to normal

its this one

look and layout preferences
Show most recent posts at the top. (be sure this is NOT checked)

I had that happen and it bout drove me nuts

so you will find this for sure I will pm it to you as well but place it here for anyone else that is having the same problem

Same here, Card!  In some houses I can bring most of my flowers inside for the winter but this house doesn't get enough light so only a few Impatiens get to spend the winter in here.  Once all the flowers die, I'm like, now what?!  

[Cardinal]

  Me too.......then in a month or 2 the spring nursery books start to arrive and I revive, salivating to get my hands in the dirt again and planning a new project for that summer . I told my husband by the time we get to retire, there will be maybe 100 square feet of grass left for him to mow, LOL......but 3 1/2 acres of flowers to weed.  His enthusiasm for that prospect is....ahem....somewhat understated

[Taffy]

Thanks Red..for sure NO Struggl;e there sis..

You can do that here too at the bottom is a notify button that will send you an email.

I think user CP is the same as view profile and then view posts here.  It kicks in after 15 posts.

Actually the most frustrating thing of smf is the lack of a WYSIWYG editor, they say that is in the next release.

You can minimise boards that do not interest you but you will still see the topics on them in the recent or unread topics.
