I know I am new to this but it seems it would be so much eaier if the latest post could come up first. Otherwise I don't know where I left off. Does this make sense??
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Since there are so many threads on this forum, the last post could come from anywhere, so what the forum has instead is the 'active topics' button. If you look at the upper right hand corner of each page you will see several clickable links. "Home" "Profile" "Register" "Active Topics" "Members" "Search" "FAQ"
Click "Active topics" and instead of showing all the main directories that you would have to click into to get to the threads, it only shows the threads that have had activity since you last read that topic! Once you click "Active Topics" you can adjust the time reference since last logon to earlier/later as desired. So for instance I might want to see a topic that I know I posted on 6 hours ago but I logged on in the last hour so the topic I posted on earlier in the day would not show. So I could adjust the timeframe to "Within the last 6 hours" and see my earlier post.
Karla, you can also subscribe to a topic so you know when anyone is commenting and you can find your subsciptions easy on your main page. To subscribe to a topic just click the subscribe to this topice at the upper right area of the page.
