This is a plain old reply.

This shows what a quoted section looks like in a reply.

This is a posting test post.

A member said something wasn't working.

<sigh>

As always, everything works for me.  So far as I know, you can't squish a bug you can't see.

As you can see, I can reply.  there was no tab anywhere to start a new topic, or thread  Mike

Moleski:  when the screen changed, there was a new topic tab, but when im looking for it I cant find it.  itis stange how to get there at times.  Why not have all the avail items on every screen, wouldnt that be a logical thing to do.  When I was looking at the help screens, I didn't know how to go from one minue to another.  That is why i said I didnt have someone here to tell meDummie do this"  Mike

I think this post on "How to Post to the Forum" has the basic information you seek.

The button for "New Topic" disappears when you are reading a thread because the authors of the FREE software we use decided to make it disappear when you are inside of a thread.

You have choices.  You may rewrite the software (as it is open-source).  You may harass the authors and see whether they will modify it to suit you.  Or you may pay TIGHAR's expenses to install the software of your choice; plan on making a large donation not just to cover the cost of acquiring and installing the software, but also to make TIGHAR feel that the work is worth the effort.     Your last option is to learn how this package works and cope with its limitations.  For the most part, that is the path I've taken myself.

Any others you can think of?  Oh, I remember you told someone how to get rid of the Security information Popup that is so annoying.  And why did the main page change  And nother thing, You're doing a GREAT job  Mike

Any others you can think of?

I've pinned five or six topics in the "Forum FAQs, maintenance, how-to help" board.

Oh, I remember you told someone how to get rid of the Security information Popup that is so annoying.

Yes.  I just pinned that one, but I plan to rework the Forum so that it is no longer using https:// in the URLs.  We were obliged to implement that in order to pass some tests that are no longer required or run on the site.

And why did the main page change?

Pat Thrasher takes care of http://tighar.org and many hundreds of other pages on the site.  I didn't ask and she didn't tell me why she modified her templates.  I did help her find a few missing links, if I remember correctly.

And another thing, You're doing a GREAT job

I appreciate the kind words.  Some days are better than others.

I'm glad it's starting to make sense, Mike.  Feel free to practice in the Chatterbox.  You can start a new topic (as I did this one) and reply to yourself to see what the various options are.

I have three hours of heavy reading left, then I have to calculate the grades and turn them in by 9:00 AM tomorrow, so I'll have to be brief in any replies I make tonight.
