    That is quite the handle! A nice forest image. We used to be able to walk in an area like that but someone bought the lot next door.

    Panoramas ?
    Once things get organized, Andrew, are you going to include a sub thread for panos?

    Reminds me of a computer game I played many years ago when games were not all on line ... I like scrolling through the pictures in this thread ... but it does get more difficult as the thread gets longer .. I like Andrew's sub-thread and single posts for discussion much better as I can follow it easier .. There is one post above by Meow that I have no idea who she is responding to!!! ... This forum will eventually settle into a routine I suspect ...

    I also don't like that this entry loses my place in scrolling through the new entries .... and no way to go back I think .. but then again I'm just learning to use the Home and End buttons on this computer ... Don't like the fact that pictures uploaded cannot be seen on my iPAD while not logged into the site!!! .. We'll get use to it if we stay with it IMHO ...

    Thanks, WhyNot. I thought this was Andrew's thread. I can't figure out where to post to stay within Andrew's thread. Rich

    I like the colour, Dave. I'm trying to catch up on posts I've missed here. Still trying to get comfortable with this GUI. Rich

    Yes, this very much is an issue that is difficult to overcome. For this reason I have started a new home for this in dprevived.com/c/the-weekly-m43-talk/135/

    The weekly aspect is lost but at least all replies to a given image (now in their own thread!) will be located within that thread. It does make following up easier but is still no replacement for the threaded view that is not available here.

    I had noticed your reply before but did not know what it referred to. I clicked the link and found out! The shot was a set up by a professional photographer and not a real life thing. In a post I made long ago I titled it 'Why every dress should have a cell phone pocket!"

    Those piggies would think the same of you, Charlotte. Not pigs, peccary or javelina. New world indigenous. SW US, and on south to Patagonia. They travel in packs, like piranha on land. They will strip the flesh from your bones and they start eating before you're dead. If you see them in the desert, you're in deep doo doo.
    Pleasant dreams. Rich

    Tricky navigation .. I note that pressing the END button takes me to the end of the page I'm on and then I have to click the carot to move on -- now 4 or 5 five clicks to get to the bottom!!!.. Except if you have been to the actual bottom and push the Home Button to go back to the top of the Thread NOW pressing the END button takes me to the actual last post!!!! ..

    No to a panorama sub thread Rich, at least at the moment. The problem is for responses to follow the posted image or images, they must be posted as a new thread. Because this site is written in code that does not natively support threaded viewing, when I posted the Weekly Thread in the Oly SLR forum it posts as a thread and then all replies are in flat unthreaded mode making it very difficult to follow. Couple that with clicking the next page button when you get to the end of a page takes you to the bottom of the next page and not the top makes it even more frustrating to use. If there were not many panoramas posted then I could post a Weekly Panorama thread within the new forum but then all replies revert to flat file format and the difficulty continues.

    If you click on the following link it will take you to the new home of the ongoing image posts and the weekly format is lost.

    Do not be put off by the picture of AlanSH on the welcome notice!!!!! It is "my thread" my forum!

    A very nice pano Rich. Looks lovely.

    Nuh. It does not. It goes to the top. But, it duplicates the last post on the previous page at the top. A rather nice feature, I think. Maybe that tricked you to think you were at the bottom?

    A navigation question

    Charlotte: I read a post of yours somewhere about navigating the site using subscribed threads.
    I've tried it and like the fact that it:
    - only shows me the threads I've posted in;
    - that it puts a blue flag on any that have new entries since I last visited;
    - that I can go to the start of the thread by picking on the thread name;
    - that I can go to the last entry in the thread by picking on the time since the last post;
    - but, I thought picking on the blue flag was supposed to take me to the last entry in the post when I last visited.
    -- that doesn't seem to work - it takes me somewhere in the middle of the thread, many messages prior to the last I'd read on a prior visit.

    Do you know of a way to skip to the last post you've read?

    I thought clicking the timestamp in the right column did that. Or rather, I thought it went to the first unread post, as that's how it usually works. But it seems I land a bit higher up. I don't know what's up with that or how it's meant to work. But you go somewhere in the vicinity of the last read post anyway. 😄

    Maybe for you Charlotte but I know a bottom when I see one!

    It goes to the bottom on my computer. Perhaps yours works differently! You should try not to make so many assumptions and to be less 'pushy'. If I have to scroll up to get to the last post from the previous page, it went to the bottom. Now if you want to tell me that it could be set up differently then please do so.

    I think it depends on what technology you're using. On my tablet it definitely goes to the bottom of the next page and I have to scroll up to continue reading. I have mixed feelings about it reposting the last post from the previous page at the top of the new one . .

    Strange. Why would they target certain browsers (which I guess is what happens)? Don't see anything in settings that could cause it either.

    What browser and OS to you use? I'm on Windows and use FF.

    Nice to see you here BTW, Lynne. 😀
