Will someone please splain me what all the fuss is about? Like you, for example, mav? ... I'm guessing this thread is for some reason difficult to get into, but I'm having no problem. Which is kinda strange, since I ride an old Mac, etc, etc ad nauseum (...fadeout...)

[tapping foot]enough already, Mrs Liverwurst! OK, the deal is this: all Mac-less humanity seems to be unable to access this thread by the normal direct route (I have tried threaded and flat mode but that made no difference), and we are having to creep in through the back door in the manner described elswhere. We can see the thread (with its superficially blank title), but we just caint do nuthin'!

well as pointed out to Sparteye-- you can just position your cursor "right" and get in the normal way.. (still working on how you did it... )

Ledasdottir claims you can just position your cursor "right"
Well, I for one, have been unable to find that elusive little spot.
FTR, IE5.00, PC, Win2K
Trying with NetScape 6.0 makes no difference.

Yep, I have tried this repeatedly and get nowhere - I can highlight the little blip representing the <space> I put into the title, but it won't open the door!
ditto for setup, Faldage (or should that be {Win'K}

You put a space in the title, mav? I have been posting with the Re: intact and editing it out immediately after posting.
Oooh, ooh, oooh! What kind of space are you using?

it seems to depend on the browser (or maybe the pc). I can get in from work via netscape, but not from home via aol (ha!). I suppose I could try netscape from home... [yawn]

I am using Netscape 4.5-- and it never even occured to me to use Next/previous to get ito the the thread.. i just click the right spot.. it was a bit tricky the first time (isn't everything?) but now, its no harder that opening any thread..
the subject line delete is a little trickier.. but got that too..

yeah... DSL or cable?... DSL or cable?... let's see, cable is faster, doesn't require separate isp, means more drilling, shared access; dsl is dedicated, slower, isp extra, uses existing lines... <mumble>

tsuwm,
If this helps, I have cable internet. When my computer is fully warmed up and ready to go, it takes ten
seconds for AWAD to appear and be usable, or for my internet Home Page to be usable.
Edit: this is odd--the first time I posted with a blank subject, there was no problem. Now it doesn't want to let me.

And DSL requires you to live within 3 miles of phone company. I have had quite a few headaches with pacbell.

Maverick must be rolling on the floor with laughter, tears rolling down face, with all the contortions we are all going through ... since all that's required is for Maverick, the original poster, to hit the edit button on the original post and go in and insert a subject heading.
C'mon Mav, have a heart!

What I wanna know is how'd I manage to make an anonymous totally empty post to the Loanwords from German forum?
To get to it you got to click on my name, click on Show all user's posts and then click on Re: Guten Tag

Guess I wasn't clear ... I have no problem. Just clicked on the "Next Post" arrow at the top right of the forum.
I think Maverick is just yankin' our chains!

OK, yeah, you're right. I *had tried this before and forgot what the results were. I thought I had pulled an end run around something by telling the system I was in I&A but still at post 149 and responding to that. Somewhere along that road I got an error message telling me I had my Java on upside down, or something like that.

Well, Mizz Liverwurst's old Netscape via this old Mac shows a thin blue line - the <space> thang - as the subject heading. Eminently clickable. Interesting. Maybe there is a reason to run a steam-powered computing machine after all!

So that's what happened, tsuwm, when I tried to post a follow-up about Neanderthal on that Loanwords From German thread (this was a couple of months ago)...it kept accepting the post and appearing nowhere! I finally gave up looking for it!  I have an emachines computer, and I had no trouble accessing this thread once the "Re:'s" started showing up. I know this'll sound dumb to all you computer geniuses, but since you say only Macs could access this post, is my computer doing something out of the ordinary here, displaying super-human traits as it were?

I had no trouble getting into this post-- (well a little, it took a minute or two for me to find the magic spot--) and clit, oh i mean, click on it! and once i gave it some thought.. no more Blank Post but rather nothingness in the subject.

Ah, the thin blue line. Appropriate for a dyed-in-the-wool Confederate like yourself, Mizz Grits! [throws another dollar into a Las Vegas slot machine -e]
