Re: Phil, what am I doing wrong?

March 29, 2011

I never read posts or threads at the site

/messages

I have all posts come to me in my free Email account. If I had to read

posts like your trying to do I would go nuts.

Lets use DECA's thread if you click on his Help post by going back in days until

you see a post Help to find the first post you need to go to the bottom of the

page until your see Help not Re. Help.

Or keep hitting older until I found his first post.

/message/69225

Then at the bottom the page it will show all his replys to his post.

No wonder I feel like I am going nuts! LOL

I guess this is simply the way it is. Never have quite seen a 'forum board' set

up this way before, as I belong to a couple that have nothing to do with health

issues.

As the old saying goes,..... " It is what it is. "

Thanks.

Is there a way to get e-mail for only threads you reply, or subscribe to per se?

Looks to me like if you do the e-mail thing that you get every post that is

made, regardless of topic. That really would drive me nuts!

March 29, 2011

Well it is up to you if you want to read them I am an co mod I need to read them

all. I you read a post and find it not what you care about the rest just delete

them. I like Yhaoo Email and use the older kind it has spell chk. and after you

read it you can delete it.

Marc, I read on the web, can't stand e-mail clutter. You can scan 30 e-mails at

once, and see by the first two lines of any post whether you want to even open

it or not.

If you click on a post, the whole history of the thread is at the bottom, so you

can see who replied and when, etc.

I setup a Gmail account just for this board and I get all posts emailed to

it. No, you either get all emails, none, or some sort of " digest " I've never

bothered with.

I use for my other email accounts, but the advantage to using Gmail

over is that the responses are grouped per subject as Gmail has a

conversation grouping feature. They descend much more like the other

web-based message boards I've used. The catch is that most replies to a

thread that keeps growing have a LOT of previous responses to scroll

through. So instead of wasting time I just hit the subject bar and the post

closes up like how you roll up a window shade. Nice. Then the next post

appears and so on.

I've tried scanning the subject and content snippets on the web version and

found too much was missing. Yeah, the navigation buttons are confusing on it

too!

Thanks again all of you folks.

I guess I will try the e-mail deal and see how that flies.

I still can't seem to get the web deal to work in a way that makes any sense to

me.

Too bad that these do not work more like a traditional forum board

where you can subscribe to a thread and all that stuff.

Since I had the positive Celiac gene test done, I have joined one concerning

that issue, and it works pretty smooth.

Oh well,.....don't gripe about a resource that you use so much!

One thing about is posting needs to be approved for new members so

we don't get SPAM and crap from trouble makes.

At other forums I have seen them get tons of SPAM and it shut them down.
