How to find threads

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

I've been actively (on & off) on this forum for many years. Evidently I never read the instructions or played around this site.
All these years, and I never realized there is a place to "click" that will list:
Unanswered posts
Unread posts
New Posts
Active Posts

On the "Board Index" these links are listed. They make checking this site soooo much easier in lots less time.
I stumbled upon this info because someone posted that the "View Active Posts" wasn't working - so I went looking for what they were talking about.
Not sure if I should show my total stupidity with this post, but figured it might help others.

Girl, "view active topics" is where it's at! ;-)

Now you tell me :shock: Let me sit back and be stupid.

I've never been able to follow simple directions so I just start at "Beginners" and work my way to the bottom. When finished I return to "start" and do it again. :lol2: :lol2:

Believe me Jeanne, I know how you must feel. Nothing feels better for us old people than to find something on a computer by ourselves, even if every five year already knew how to do it. gs

Hey Jeane...some lightbulbs shine brighter than others but each one has it's own useful purpose... :lol:

I was about to go nuts without the active tab working. Just couldn't break the habit.

:secret: did you know there is also a "view your posts" button?

I don't know if you are joking or not -- but --- that's exactly what I used to do. this way is sooooo much easier & faster.

I've been on ranchers more lately an it doesn't have view active topics ot view your post. A least I haven't found it an I sure miss it. It does have view post since last visit but I don't like it as much.

Part of the reason I like doing it this way is I can hit the mark topics read button and not have to dither with all of the rest of the crap on a forum

 

[Jeanne - Simme Valley]

Well, I always loved my email notices - and was really bummed out without them. soooo, glad they are fixed. Now, I love these "buttons". Life on the board is good :banana: (doesn't take much to make me happy)

You must be snow bound. I have not seen you on here this much in months. :wave:

Same process here except I start at Everything Else at the bottom and work my way up.

Me too.... Gonna try the new stuff....I am not so very good at CHANGE . :shock:

Kenny - well, not snowbound - but we've started calving, so I stick pretty close to home.
Plus, I "retired" from my volunteer job (a year now) and I'm getting caught up.
