I obviously have some settings different than other people. I don't have any smilies just above the quick reply box. Nor do I have the font colour selection boxes. I use Mozilla Firefox and wonder if that could be the problem? Or maybe because I have pop-ups blocked? I see those options when I use my Yahoo account though so probably just something here with this forum that I've done?

aha... the smilies are at the bottom here on the regular reply for me.

i think i can do this for you.

at the very top of this page, on the right side, in the black bar, it says settings. click on that.
on the new page, on the left side column, under the heading accounts, click on general settings.
on the new page, in the center, scroll down to where it says thread something or other and choose the default you want.
you want Linear Oldest First.

p.s. what's cookin'?

edit: just checked and it works that way.

On the old format you could find your previous postings and replies. Now I cannot find it at all....is it still there, if so where and if not is there a substitute?......also how do you bookmark threads....

Hi "Powers-That-Be" (tee-hee) This is just a general question regarding "posting-codes" down at the bottom, i don't know what some of the codes mean...for example it says BB code is on..?? what's that?? and what is[IMG] and says HTML code is off, don't mean for you to have to give me computer lessons, but, hopefully these are easy answers. Thanks a lot ~deb~ (new here) oops also what are Pingbacks-Refbacks and Trackbacks????

I've been going to "My Profile" up on the very top of the page and clicking on "Find recent posts".

However, the better way to do it is to click on "Quick Links", which is in the blue header under the Quilting Board logo and go to subscribed threads. I think it was in "Settings" that I checked the box that says to automatically subscribe me to any threads to which I post a reply.

Edit: Ok, I just checked my own info out.

I think anytime you post to a thread, it automatically goes to your "subscribed threads"; however, not absolutely sure about that. Mine do. Anyway, click on "Quick Links" in the blue header to get to subscribed threads.

For the "Settings", it's whether you want to be emailed or not when someone posts to one of your subscribed threads. You click on Settings, then on "My Account", then on "General". I set mine to "control panel only" because I do not want to get emails.

I'm sure there's more to figure out; this is just as far as I have gotten......

Additional Edit: One good thing about going to "Quick Links" and "subscribed threads" is that on each one of those topics you can click on the blue circle to go immediately to the first unread post in the thread. That's a great time-saver!

If you click on Setting (top right of the page)
On the left you will see a number of items, scroll down until you get to General settings
In general settings, scroll down until the options on the right show the title Miscellaneous Options.
Under the "Message Editor Interface" select the type of editing you want. Some browsers can't handle the Enhanced interface, but that is the one I use and I get the option to change fonts and add smilees.

Standard Editor might do that as well -- you will have to play around with it.

You have to subscribe to threads, you aren't automatically subscribed. Unless it has changed...

I am automatically subscribed to threads to which I post. It may have been some setting I ran across while trying to figure things out here.

Edit: Try going to "Settings", "My Account", "General". That's where I selected "control panel only" for subscribed threads. There may be another setting in there somewhere for automatically subscribing to threads to which you post; otherwise, maybe just making a selection like I did automatically does it.......
