Did someone increase the font size for the entire forum? Everything suddenly looks very big. That's not the case on other websites, so I'm thinking it's here???

There's so much here that it is really easy to be overwhelmed! Plus, change is hard, isn't it? If you're coming over here from just one AO Yahoo group, there's just so much more than there was before. This forum is something like all the various Yahoo groups, joined together under one roof.

My best tip for avoiding being overwhelmed is that I have just subscribed to five forums. My bookmark to come into the forum is my "Forum Subscriptions" page. (That link should go to your subscriptions, not mine. ) So, all I see at first is the few that I'm most interested in. If there's nothing new in them, then I go on to other areas.

How do you all avoid being overwhelmed? Please add your tips here!

Hi,

I just maxed out my storage limit for PMs, so I opted to download and export all of my folders. I assumed that this would go to my computer at some oint, and so chose the option to delete them from my folders once they were exported. I followed the steps, was presented with a page with all of my messages, but there was never given an option to download/export them to my computer. Did I miss it?

Please splain to me what I need to do next time.

Thanks!

When you want to quote more than one person, the easiest way to do that is the little button that looks like a plus sign:



Click on that plus by each post that you want to quote. Once you've clicked on it, it will change to a minus, and you can click on that again, if you change your mind. When you get to the end, you'll see the little message I have circled. Of course, you'll still need to clip all the quotes down to just the part that applies to what you're writing, but they will all be there for you.

I also just discovered that if you click the plus sign on one thread, and then go to another, you can quote from the first thread there, too. That could come in handy sometimes.

I clicked on the RSS feed at the bottom of the page, thinking that I may have found the solution to my problem of 'having' log-in here to view complete posts. When it took me to the page to choose forums to subscribe to, there were only two options. Is this still a work in progress?

Thanks again.

I've noticed that I'm not receiving notices of posts in my subscribed forums/threads until many hours (half-a-day sometimes) after they are posted; at other times they come pretty quickly. Is this what we should expect or is this a known glitch?

Thanks.

I briefly tried to figure out what I'm missing, but then decided to do it this easy way by asking here.

When I come to look at posts, I opt for "View New Posts" or "View Today's Posts" to begin.

Once that page pulls up, I opt to sort by forum. I think the default sort is descending according to time posted.

After I've chosen to sort by forum, next to "Forum" will then read [desc]. When I read the forum names, they are combined somewhat, but jumbled and appear to be sorted by ??? I can't figure it out.

Alphabetically speaking, when I sort by [desc] they are sorted "M,E,F,L" ... Wait, is it sorting by the ascending and descending order according to how they're listed on the main forum page?

YES! That must be it. I just looked and that's what it seems to be doing.

I'm sorry, but I can't recall what order everything is in on that page. Could we cause it to sort forums alphabetically like it does with user names?

Just curious....I noticed that members are identified in several ways... new member, junior member, regular member, etc. What determines the category of membership?

I didn't really find a forum for asking this specific question since it covers a book scheduled from years 7-10. So if this question should be asked somewhere else please direct me.

I posted this on HEO recently but no one ever responded (not that this is an earth shattering question or anything) so I thought I'd try again here on the forums.

While planning the chapters from this book for Year 10 I noticed that a total of 6 chapters are totally skipped. There are 3 chapters left out between years 8 and 9 and another 3 chapters left out between years 9 and 10. The ones that are left out are chapters 60-62 covering Dryden and Defoe and chapters 74-76 covering Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey. Was this intentional or an oversight? And if these authors were intentionally left out, what was the reason? I'm pretty sure every other chapter in the book is scheduled over the course of years 7-10. It was funny to me because I didn't even notice skipped chapters when I was planning year 9 last year.

Thanks much,
Linda

I believe there might be a way to "stick" certain posts so that they stay at the top of a subforum. Which would be great as new members continue to join. ie the welcome msg in music.

So I've created a signature - but it doesn't seem to be showing up... did I miss a step somewhere?

Is there any method to record feedback for someone completing transactions in the buy/sell subforum?

I had posted a couple of things to "Parents with Health Challenges Forum"... which I think was under Family Dynamics....

Now I see it is a Special group.... I see it listed on my userCP page under group memberships....

If I try to join it, it says I can't join a group that I already belong to.

BUT - I don't see it listed among my forums at all... even where the other Special Groups to which I belong are listed....

help?

I wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this or not... But I was wondering what is going to be done with the huge number of files spread over the AO groups? Are they going to be copied or moved over here? Maybe setup as attachments in the sub forum they pertain to? Or left in the AO groups?

What do you think? Click "Like" if you like this!

It seems to be working. I'll just need to change the color. I'll make it smaller, too.

I know, I know, I have been tainted by facebookbook. Grrrrr. The reality, however, is that it is a reinforcing time saver. If I agree with someone's comment I don't have to create a reply, but rather hit a like button. Then only if I have something different to add do I actually have to reply.

Anyway, wasn't sure if it were an available add-on or not but wanted to suggest it.

Not sure how much interest there would be - but maybe there could be a sub-forum under Family Dynamics for "older parents"?

Phyllis, is there any way to add the ability to mark a batch of New threads 'read' when they come up after clicking on 'new posts'?

Can I insert a photo from my computer into a post? And how would I go about doing that? The little icon up there that says Insert Image only allows you to put in a remote URL
