the FAQ is a good place to start, but there are several thread in I & A with links to a collection of tips..

most of us set our profile to be able to view 99 post at atime.. (it load faster if you use dial up) --most of don't still use dial up..BUT
it also make it easier to look up old threads.. (since often page 2 or 3 of an old topic won't load.)

so it follows, we don't go past 99 or 100 (because these post would be on page 2 if your preferences are set to view 99 posts..)

Some people think we are being arbitary with ending thread at 100 (they are often continued in a new thread!--so its not as if we close down the topic) we just make it easier for us (and every one who joins) to be able to read/find/refer to old topics, if needed.

None of the 'tricks' we use are rocket science--but there is also no reason for you to have to re-invent the wheel--you can read the collective hints and tricks and use any that you want..

you can learn how to do ligitures, and type Ęsop--or you can type Aesop.

we have fun with characters, and white text.. and other stuff. but we don't keep our tricks a secret!
