If any of you fellow cave-dwelling Mac users out there [echo-echo-echo emoticon] would like to know how to perform any of the above-mentioned operations, please spelunk your way over to me via private message.

We could have a whole section for Mac users. I can see big words, glitter, lights .. it will be ... fantastic! [getting carried away emoticon]

now if there were only some way to keep the "helpful hints' thread up on top, without adding drivel to it. (I think we've hinted for help on this from the man behind the curtain before, to no avail.) [say, we could turn TMBTC into an indecipherable (and unpronouncable) initialism!!]

And thank you for the [pre] suggestion.
I guess, when the Hints thread gets to the bottom, somebody
could just make a putting-back-up-to-the-top post, no drivel included.

if jmh were to periodically edit his initial post, even by adding a "." to the end, then deleting it the next time, etc., wouldn't the server pick it up as a "new" post?

it'd be extra work for him, but since he took so much time to create the thread in the first place, he might be willing to do so for the benefit of us newbies.

wish i'd had the opportunity to benefit from these when i started no so long ago... might've avoided a few 's

Thanks for the suggestion, Bridget96. I've edited posts before and I think that they stay in the same place but I'm happy to give it a try.

PS You are not the only one to think I'm a "he". Tee hee

my apologies...ad infinitum. i am particularly ashamed by the oversight, since "jo" is my own middle name.

the things (menu?) in the dark pink bar at the very top of the page apply to AWAD, not AWADtalk
===================================================
Ah HA! So that's why my searches are ineffective ... how DO you search for topics? Or have I missed something? (Drooling emoticon)

>how DO you search for topics?

All you do is (i) Use the right search engine (tricky to have two, so close together), it's the one between "Main Index" and "Edit Profile", then when you are offered a choice, enter "all forums", "all dates". Sometimes it is best to search for a single word.

Excellent work, Jo. It includes many things I'd forgotten, if indeed I ever knew them.
