I noticed that last couple of days the way forum threads are being handled has gotten a little strange. I'm having trouble viewing a complete thread. Only some messages are being displayed, and others are missing and easy to overlook. Do I need to adjust personal settings if that is possible, or is that just the way things are going to work from here on out?

Haven't noticed this myself, But I think Ron moved some stuff around a couple days ago trying to get stuff organized. Maybe that is what your trouble is. -------------------- |

Ron did move stuff around, but this problem seems to go beyond that. For example, when I tried to find your response, I could only see my original message. I had to chase through the chain at the bottom of the page to find the response. Did I accidentally change something about the way I view threads, or did somebody change the way the forum itself works? -------------------- Ken Miller

OK, I found the options menu where I could change things from "outline" to "standard" and everything is back the way it was. So sorry for the distraction and "never mind". -------------------- Ken Miller

Somehow I must have accidentally switched from "standard" to "outline" display of threads, but I don't know how. -------------------- Ken Miller

I've found there is no other answer to computer problems and glitches. Those circuit boards stay up all night thinking up ways to confuse us. -------------------- Ron Walker
