There is an icon in the lower right hand corner of each post. It is a file folder with " next to it. Just click on it.

I don't see a way to respond to an individual person's post. The only way to respond to the post (that I see) is by using the "Reply" button at the bottom right of the last post.

Regards,

Terry

Thanks Terry, I tried the respond at the bottom, and it worked once, but not the second time! OH well, I'll get it down someday!

in the bottom right there are 5 buttons. Within the post, there is a reply with quote. That is how you reply to a specific post. below and outside the post is the quick reply button (grey not yellow).

Don,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I only see 2 buttons in the bottom righthand corner: The "Quote" botton, and the "Report this post" button: Confused

Interesting. I only see two buttons at the bottom right of the page. The first button says "Reply" and has a grey arrow, and the other button has a yellow arrow (which does not say what it is, but becomes a quick reply screen when I click on it).

At the bottom right of each post (vs. page) I see two buttons as well: a "reply with quote" button and a "report this post" button. There is a third button on my own posts for editting or deleting.

Also, fyi, if I "quick reply" to a post, the .gif file in my signature will not work. It only shows if I do a full reply. Editting the post seems to mess it up too.

Cheers,
Canuck

There are two arrows in the lower right hand corner of the thread. The bluish reply arrow replies to the mast post in the thread. The yellow reply arrow replies to the originating poster.

Yeah too bad my kids all grew up and moved out.
I guess we'll get used to this sooner or later.

Don't feel bad. I had to hold Ray's hand over the phone to get him registered. I should'a taken bids to get him so screwed up that he never go on. Big Grin

Come to think of it, since we'll be celebrating his 105th birthday on Friday, he's doing well to not be room temp.

Don is God here. He has more buttons than everyone else. Smiler

Mac just think back to UBB Classic before it was upgraded to Threads and now to Eve. Classic did not allow you to rely to individual posts either.

Now we are back to the 'good ole days' you should be right.

Back to the good old days, is right, how do I put my picture back into the post heading, under my screen name, or in the signature? The address for the picture in in my signature!

Actually, you have a reply button, an edit button (when looking at one of your own posts) and an alert button (soon to be removed when I get time).

Actually I have an edit button on all posts, because I HAVE the POWER.

Dang, Ray,

I'm glad you're finally coming to town. Worst case of cabin fever I've seen in a long time.
One drink each huh? You got any ice tea glasses?

This, fellows, is a no shit story:

Yesterday afternoon, right at closing time at my office, a former PB Centerfold model came to my office and just hung out there with my paralegal and me until 8:00 p.m. or so. She'd had a rough time years ago with an addiction to various drugs that had got her in trouble with the law and about ruined her. I told her back then.. from the bench.. that I'd buy her dinner on the anniversary of each year of sobriety if she'd just quit screwing herself up and recognize that she was more than a piece of flesh. She came by to claim her annual supper and show me her 8th year "chip" from NA. (actually there is no "chip" for 8 years, but you get the picture.)

So, at least for a while, there I was, in the presence of two of the best looking women in the world (ask 1115 about the paralegal), telling me how important I was in their lives. I thought I was "The Man".

So what's the problem...

The centerfold (and I'm not telling you which Playboy it was; she's embarrassed about that) began to tell me about dating a fellow about my age. The guy is a multi-millionare with his own jet (which he pilots); he still runs 10K races, etc. She began to tell me about her guilt as to whether she was gold digging.... and how that was against the 12 steps that she had now based her life on... then she absolutely killed me with the finish of the story..

Over Christmas, the guy had flown her home to meet his relatives and she had about convinced herself that the attraction was for him and not his money and she was going to finally do the deed with the dude... until she saw him in his grundies and a tank top... "Judge," she said.. "he was all wrinkley where he shouldn't be and I just couldn't do it, no matter how much money he has! He was just gross!"

Damn... he's in better shape than me... My wrinkles have wrinkles.

I'll never ask a woman out again.

What really hurt was that she was talking to me like I was her grandfather... or worse yet.. an ugly nun or something. Both women were sitting there agreeing that dating "older" men sucked.... like I wasn't even there.

So, Ray.. I don't care to be rejected by no dad-gum Playboy fluff! Just gillflurt me and get it over with. I think I change my affections to Labrador retrievers like you, Mr. Atkinson. Big Grin

Some of those baboons in Zim did look pretty good though.

As to the real purpose of the thread:
Don:
If a wrinkled old fart like me can figure it out, it ain't so bad. I just am mighty thankful that you and Saeed give us the opportunity to vent our spleens and learn from some guys who really know their stuff.

Ah but Judge, your story was the best. It made the whole weekend of work worth it!

I think this girl passed up the millionaire because she secretly is after you. She's impressed by Big Guns.
