I'm an ego searcher. . . check my old threads first, then wander around the forums if I have time. No wonder I'm always in the same forums, huh?

"Find posts since last visit" is the best thing since [b] and [i].

Technology. Use it!

The only thing bad about it is if you abort your session before you catch up on all the new posts, all that information is lost. Then you gotta go through the orange circles like a bag lady looking for cans.

What would be wicked, wicked, wicked awsome godlike cool would be a "find posts since date/time" function. That would rectify the situation. If someone were to add that, I would dedicate some avatar space just to bow to them forever.

All I use is "Find Posts Since Last Visit". One glance will tell me the threads I want to visit, usually starting with ones I had earlier posted in.

I never look at the orange dots.

I look around and check out threads that catch my eye, such as this one.

And brownie points to Esmer for being a KW "brown" scheme user. :)

heh, actually thats just my Windows color scheme. it's "crimson ferrari", not brown. :P I have customized my desk with hotrod flames, my pc is old school black and red with gauge panels and a cigarette lighter, even a cupholder, hah ha. I also have a real nice sanctioned MOMO force feedback steering wheel to top off the whole ensemble, which is also, of course, old school black and red, also with custom flames. So black, red and orange are my colors for Windows, and I even use a special skin on my WMP that has chrome and flames heh. even my screensaver is flames ;)

Well you sure had me fooled! Still, it's a nice visual counterpoint to all the wintry whiteness of KW. :)

Esmer. That's not a cupholder. It's your CD/ROM drive. ;)

That comment takes me back! Years ago, when my job entailed, among other things, handling complaints about office machines not working, I had a call from a secretary who called to say that her word processor wasn't working. She had spilled coffee on it and there was smoke coming from the machine. :lol:

...guessing you never read the first real post exchange between

It starts here, and goes sporadically through the first post of the next page, just in case you're interested. ;)
