(or two people post at the same time.) so, in this instance there were posts on movies A, A & B, B and this, "it was so depressing.." thus: which? it's hard to tell what you refer to in flat mode, without context. (I guessed B, since I've seen that, but don't know its provenance.) Last edited by tsuwm; 08/16/11 02:02 PM.

Now, I've played with the button you pointed out 'Threaded Mode' etc.... I am back to my usual format. I read all the new posts from when I last on, some I leave comment, some I don't.
