Okay, what am I doing wrong: How do I get to the complete list of threads within a topic? When I click on Information and Announcements, eg, nothing happens. And if I click on the latest post, I get the thread it's posted in. Clicking on Index also does nothing. The only way to another thread within the topic is to click on Next or Previous.

way strange. what browser are you using? perhaps delete your cookies, and log back in?

it's a little thing, but the registered and anonymous users online at the bottom of the page doesn't seem to work, at least in Safari.

Nor in our Firefox or Exploder.

(Nancy, I wish I could help you with your problem -- maybe Anu's tech guy will figure it out...)

Nancy, what screen are you looking at when clicking on, say, Information and announcements won't work? The only time it won't work for me is when I'm looking at the list of threads in the category.

If you're reading a thread, you should be able to click on the category title (Information and announcements, etc.) at the top, and be taken to the list of threads in it. You should also be able to click on it from Main Index or General Topics and see the list of threads in a category. Odd. Maybe it was a glitch that has now been fixed?

Dear Chief --

Something very odd: Bingley reminded me of tsuwm's post of the Hogwash rules; I added a post, intending to delete it when the thread appeared at the top of the list, but...it's not there!

If I go to the first thread (as of this typing) and click Next, I get to it, but...it doesn't appear in the list. Here's the address of the thread:
missing thread

Jackie, it happens when I try to get to the list from the Main Index page or when I'm reading a thread and try to click on the category title. Just can't get the complete list of threads. I'm using Firefox; maybe I should try a different browser....

Oh dear; wish I could help. I am impressed, though; I don't have the slightest idea how to use any browser other than the one that came with my computer!

Well, I tried using IE and it was even worse. When I clicked on anything in the Main Index, all I got was This page cannot be displayed. Once, and only once, with Firefox I did get the list of threads within I&A - I was so excited! Hasn't happened since. This makes it extremely difficult to navigate the site

nancy, I think you need to delete your cookies and log in again. you can do that both in your browser preferences, and also from your AWAD "My Home" page.

Fingers crossed: Logged in twice at work and once from home and each time have been able to get the lists of topics in each category. I have no idea what I did or didn't do, but the problem is solved...for the time being. Thanks, everyone.

Good, Nancy; my fingers are crossed, too!

'Nother problem: every time I go to Who's Online, I only see myself. Surely not every last other person here is invisible; can everyone else see everyone else?

I think the default is to be invisible -- at least I don't remember choosing to be invisible -- so maybe no-one has chosen to be visible.

While we're on the subject, I've noticed that the board claims that the maximum no. of people who've been here at any one time is 2. That can't be right, surely?

right now, according to downscreen, 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.

one can only conclude that it doesn't count invisible users, and ergo and forevermore forthwith -- but I digress.

I'se visible, and I've seen nancyk here once, and anonymous once, but it's usually just me...

eta, I just looked--I still see only me.

EDIT--well, I see it has been seven min., not just one or two; maybe it took you off...

I'm still here... and I don't see you...

Jah, the "who's on line" thing is still descompuesto. According to it, I am the only person who is ever on the board, at least at the time when I am on this board ... if you get my drift.

Too bad quotes don't include the name of the quotee.

**and**

Is there a way to get the most recent posts to appear at the top?

There doesn't seem to be, insel, but I just noticed something else. What's wrong with this picture?

View other user's pictures in their profile and user list?
Yes No

View user's pictures with their posts?
Yes No

Do you want to view other user's signatures with their posts
Yes No

It isn't, though, necessarily--I'm pretty sure the re is the person whose post you've hit Reply to--who isn't always the person being quoted.

Oh! Thanks! It has never occurred to me to use the Quote function; of course it would be that person, then! [duh e]
