Hello  All

I have always  bemoaned  that  the   little section   at the  bottom   of  the  home page    showing recent  postings  only has  space  for  about    10  titles  and    so it is  only  full  of  today's  or  yesterday's  stuff  :  stuff  from last week  is  pushed  off the bottom

But then  I   just  found  that  there's a section in  " Forum Stats "    which lists   ALL  the  recent  postings  very nicely       going  back  AGES   in  chronological  order 

See the   attachment  I  am  adding to this   email

Cheers  Peter

PS  :  If  you  want to  know  how I made that attachment  with the   red   writing....   buy me a  beer  in the Pub  and  then ask me         It's very  simple

Peter,

This is some great insight you bring to the newer users of the forum.  It took me two to three weeks after I had been on the forum to discover the tool you've shown here.

I changed it to show 30... That should be plenty ?

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Hi  George

30  sounds  GREAT to me

But your    signature  with the new  format  is  YELLOW-ON-WHITE

Kind  of hard to read

 

Cheers   Peter

Yes, I have some things to change so they fit the new theme colors..

Will take a while..

Hi  again George

Gotta  keep up  the postings  to stay ahead  of  Pat    

OK - just  kidding       

But  the  new  format    really is  GREAT on the     (aged)  eyes.   

That's  dead   serious . 

There's also  a  lovely   feature  of  the  Forum,  which  maybe  others  have  not  yet   discovered, which is  that  one  can MODIFY one's  postings   

Sometimes  I push  off  a   quick  reply  post in undue  haste   and   then see  a  load  of  glitches   when   I  review  it  on-line, 

But   THEN  I   can   go back   and  MODIIFY   

Great   feature   !

Cheers  Pete

Hi Peter,

I agree with you, George has given us a whole lot of nice features to navigate the forum.  The modify comes in handy quite regularly for me too.  Especially if I come to a post in a thread that I can't understand and it turns out it was written by ME! 

Best regards,

Tom

Hey   Tom,

Is  that  another  thumbs  up  for  the  new  "bright/ light"   Forum?

 I do hope  so  !


Cos  it's  SO  much  brighter   and   lighter  over here in  CHINA

Cheers

Tom, I agree. A few times, when re-reading a post of mine, I catch a stupid typo or other mistake. It is great to be able to modify it on the spot. Or if I realise I've been 'indiscreet' (Charll has helped me with that, as well).

[Peter Bentley 彭达理]

Yup !

The   software   allows   you   to  modify   what   you   wrote  before

That's   GREAT    !

Cheers   Peter

The truth is, the 'Preview' button should be enough, but I almost never use it. I just post, and then, if later I find a mistake, or want to delete info, or add info, it is very easy. Thanks, George.
