Not my web page so why should I complain?

Talk about anything here as long as it is not against the rules.

Not my web page so why should I complain?

Post by ssorllih » Tue Oct 18, 2011 01:43

A quick look at the latest topics today shows the last 3 days of activity and everything before that gets put back onto the shelf for safe keeping. Most web pages that I visit have the means available to visit the pages from the previous days in the order that posts were made.
Having subjects slide off the bottom of the current page sometimes means that if I don't respond quickly and get otherwise busy I must go in search of a subject that was important but has become a few days old.

This might help. Just above the date column on the main page shows links that could speed the process, particularly, "View posts since last visit."

Jer, That gets me the new stuff. Sometimes I want to look at one that last showed up a week ago.
For instance my post on using junk. We can't just scroll back and find it. We must decide what catagory it was posted under and look there.

You got me there. I noticed a link on the bottom right of the discussion that says, "Add this topic to your bookmarks" but I don't know where to find my bookmarks. That and you have to know if advance that you want to look back at it, it would be hard if you didn't realize until a week later that you wanted to go back and re-read something. Good luck!

It is only true, if you have read all the topics, in any other case if you click:

View unread posts

All unread post will be displayed regardless date. Total number of unread is limited to 500 or 1000.

In this case you use : View your posts

Ditto Dudes! :lol:
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D
