How do I delete something I wrote?

To my understanding, you cannot delete the post, but you can "edit" it and delete everything you said -- say, for example, misspelled candidate's names.

Snicker snicker snort.

cheeky

Big Bart does real good cheeks. He is a cheekmaster.

IBP won't let us delete a post or erase everything in an edit.

To delete, and for housecleaning purposes, we might simply erase by edit except to write "delete" for arturo to zap it later.

That was my test. Demanded two characters.

I'll be one if there's a volunteer for second.

Before I got the double meaning, I thought you were volunteering to be the co-administrator arturo requested on the other help board.

Wish I could, but my life and times are too unstable currently. Does need a level head who will not not not play favorites.

Tell ya the truth, under personal assault I could not promise that. Couldn't promise, couldn't deliver.

cheekmaster!

Wha'd I tell ya.

Looks like the moderator enabled a delete function like on the old board.

I guess he just hasn't made an anouncement yet. I think he also cut the attachment size. Cheap bastige. ; (

I like the homemade smilies the best. They show sincerity :-)

Yup!

How do I prepare frog legs so that it tastes like something other than chicken?

Try a teriaki marinade. Then they'll taste just ducky

Kikkoman teriyaki baste and glaze. Best I ever had.(though House of Tsang spicy stir fry is damn good too)

Is there any way to get it to take me to last post read?

The little orange square to the left of the topic title (after hitting view new posts)

When I log on every day I like to pick up where I left off. Sometimes I even respond to posts without waiting to see if someone responded to my response. Now, after I respond, the only way I know to resume working through the thread is to backpage twice.

Is there a setting that will return me to the last read post without having to backspace?

Also, is there a way to quote individual snippets from differents posts over different pages? That would be even better, I could respond to everyones' posts in one post and be all caught up by the time anyone knew I had arrived.

Okay. See ya round.

lil bart is good at that, try her. Maybe give her a PM if she doesn't show here. I know the arrow will take you back to a quoted post. The posts have numbers so you can quote them by number. I just haven't had cause to answer many posts at once.

There's a low fi version link at bottom, I think that shows more posts at once. Sometimes more features is harder than less, depending on what you specifically want to do.

Not sure if this is going to answer your question, but as you read through the posts, any that you hit "quote" on, at the bottom to the left of "reply," will stack up as soon as you do hit reply. You can delete the portions of the post you don't find relevant to your response.

When you hit "reply" at the bottom right of a post, it immediately gives you a response screen with the post you are responding to in quote block.

You of course can do it the old-fangled way, of copying and pasting into a notebook. If you highlight text in the posting box and click on "quote," it encompasses that portion in quotes. ("Code" works similarly, and merely awaits your replacement of "code" with the cue for whatever "code" it is you wish to apply -- eg, "center.")

The disadvantage to hitting quote as you read along, and responding to all in a response box, is that your attention is distracted and then brought back, rather than fully directed, at the time of reading, to constructing a response. In other words -- it's better for one-liners than for longer or more thoughtful responses to more posts.

But that of course can depend as well on the person, the topics, the day.

Hells' bells and whistles. That little arrow indeed takes you smack back to the quoted post. Amazing. I had not even happened upon that brilliant little function.

Your question is answered, Millness. As you would say ...........viola!

Okay, I'm totally missing it. I don't see anything showing that quotes are "stacking up".

Sorry to bug. I'll do it the old way, and you guys will just have to forgo the attention grabbing quote boxes.

Oh that arrow.

THANKS.

That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you thank you thank you.

Welcome welcome welcome. Thank AV.

But the quotes "stack up" when you click on "quote" at the bottom of any post. It will turn red. That tells you that, as soon as hit "response" every single "quoted post" will appear in quote blocks. You then insert your comments after the appropriate blocks.

Kapiche?

You will.

I still learn things as I go along. If you think this has a lot of features and stuff to know you should see the admin crap that makes it run. I try not to touch nuthin'.

Sho nuff. Just have to hit the regular add reply box when you have a pile of posts to respond to.

LOL

hence the LOL

where's the damn stickies?????

Perzactly.

I did figger out the "center" here before Big Bart did, and he taught me everything I know & love about centers.

Between us all we have most of it figgered out. Something for everyone. Multiple replies, pics, formating or simplicity with the lo-fi version.

Anyone ever follow the For those that do not wish to wait link that flashes after you modify/delete a post? I'm worry it's like the red button from Ren & Stimpy. (That JoLLY CaNdy-lIke button)

It's like Whizzing on the electric fence.

Uproarious.

Oh, my, what a handy feature.

Hands are such a handy feature that they named them hands!

Good afternoon, lil. Have I congratulated you on your electoral predicitions lately? Not only did you the predict the close races in the northwest, but you nailed the reasons for them and pinpointed a potential (or what used to be potential) important weak spot the electoral morass--absentee/mail-in votes. Well ahead of the high-paid pundits.

I did?

You're gonna give me a stroke, Wardlet.

Best have a look in my mailbox and see where the checks are.

Arturo, something weird is happening (sidenote: check out the date of the last post on this thread). Twice now in a week, all my orange boxes, that signal unread posts, and take the reader to the most recent one, have poof! erased! Up in smoke.

So I have no way of knowing which threads I've read, or not, or which have new posts or not.

Why is zees happenink to me?

I think it's you, not us. Maybe the cookies or settings on your computer. None of the things you describe ever happened to me on either of my comps, and I don't recall anyone else mentioning it. Maybe somebody else knows.. You know I'm no expert.

Maybe Russ will have a notion. I have not cleared a cache (though I do that when I hit lock-out) or erased any cookies. It never happened before -- only this week, and twice. Made catching up easier the first time, but tonight it was a little irritating.
