Topic: A Suggestion About Posts

Dear Doug

Would it be possible to add a feature called "My Recent Posts"? I guess I post so much that I can't remember in which topic area my post is in (This is a part of my problem: short-term memory loss) and I wind up searching them all.

It may be that this already exists and if so, could you point me there, please?

Thanks, Doug

Bill

Bill - If you click your user name,  screen will come up with a "show all posts" link towards the bottom. Your posts are sorted by date.

Re: A Suggestion About Posts

Thanks, topdown for your help. I might have inadverdently and eventually stumbled upon it, but this way is much quicker. Thanks for taking the time to answer,:)

I have one more question: Is there a setting I am missing which allows me to reply without having to quote the person I'd like to reply to?

Sorry for the trouble, but I do appreciate each and every one here who helps this ol' Geezer! smile

Bill,

Go to the last post in the thread, like I'm doing now. Under the "quote/report" buttons you'll see "Post Reply". Just click on that and you'll have a blank canvas.

Joe,

Ah! The LAST thread. Okay, got it.

Today, I'm like the first caveman who ever saw a wheel.

"Damn", I'm saying to myself. "That can be used for something!" smile

Almost there, but just not quite "getting it".

I appreciate you folks putting up with me. smile

Re: A Suggestion About Posts

Bill,  It's handy to use quote...... especially if you are commenting on a post that is a few back from where you are.... Sometimes we get to "wandering" a little around a topic.  Guess that is one of those things that makes us different from other Forums...... we don't get all uppity if posts aren't strictly on topic.  Guess that comes from understanding that as we age our typing begins to gravitate more into something more like a conversation you might have on a porch, and less like a business proposal or term paper.

To me the informal conversation seems friendlier, and even entertaining.

Take Care;
Doug

And we even know how to spell and use the correct form of a word. I can finally decipher my kid's text speech but I don't really care for it.

I noticed that pretty much the first week I was here (this time), Doug. It isn't just the friendly-sounding names, but what those folks say and how they say it which makes this place so special. I think I described it as charismatic and giving one the wish he could sit on that porch you mention, drinking a favorite beer and listening to the crickets on a warm late Spring evening near a Louisiana Bayou.....

Thanks
