Here's a thing: I started writing a reply to another thread yesterday and then didn't finish it. I logged out, went away, did other things, came back, posted elsewhere, then just now went to that thread, and there was my unfinished post still in the Write Comment box, and still live. I've deleted it now (it had its chance), but odd that it didn't go away on its own when I logged out.
My helmet has a touch of red, and my rain jacket is yellow.
Don't you think TN, that snidey comments about TBers skimpy apparel are sort of in bad taste in this new, multicoloured, multi-font age?
I wish the bloody screen would stop jumping about when other people post while I'm typing. By the time I've relocated the input screen I've forgotten what I was typing.
Just trying to find my way round and saw on "Recent activity" that Photts Moll changed his profile picture' as did Paula , but Baggy was down as 'her' - does the site not know what gender we are?
Edited to add - I like the big writing, and what do you think of my picture? I looked on Free Stock Photos for sunglasses and got this.
BB said: "Webbo, if you opt to 'dismiss' a thread, how is it reversed?"
I mentioned that very early on but not since - that behaviour seems very strange - I haven't found a way to bring them back, or how to view ones that you have dismissed. You can only dismiss Announced threads (i.e.what we used to call stickies), so perhaps the only way to reset it is for me to unannounce them. I'll keep looking.
It seems to be intended as an option to allow you to opt out of a sticky, so it doesn't clutter up the top of the forum for you. Once you've dismissed an announced thread it drops back into the normal order of threads and will only pop back up to the top if it gets a new comment. There isn't an option to reset that though, so be sure that you actually want to dismiss an announcement before using it.
