Getting Around on TEG

[digitS']

We haven't talked about this lately, not since those days of confusion about 12 months ago.

The Easy Garden has all this Nifty-ness. I feel very lucky that @Nifty brought us along to this forum . We probably all have our techniques for keeping up with things happening. Here's mine:

Hover the cursor over "Members" in the Green bar at the top of the page. When the Drop-down menu shows up, click Recent Activity.

Thanks! I know I am missing things that I would like to see.

I'm usually on here often enough that all I have to do is click on "New Posts" at the top to see what threads have new posts since I was last here. And I regularly mark all posts read before I leave.

I don't read all new posts or follow all threads on here like some people say they do. I probably should the way we bounce all over the place and hijack threads but I don't. I've been known top redirect a thread or two myself. There is no telling what direction some of these thread will take. We are small enough a group that we can follow every thread if we want to.

That's handy Steve! I usually just click on new posts. But there's always a list of new stuff when I get on.

I recently discovered something I hadn't known about.
You know how when you're looking for something in a forum that has lots of pages? Like the POW thread? And there are page numbers at the top starting with one through six or whatever, then an arrow , then the last page number. Well I have just laboriously back tracked by clicking on the current page, waiting for it to load, then clicking on the lowest recent page number at the top and repeating until I get to the page I need.
Well! I absently clicked on that little arrow one day and the numbers zipped by 5 pages at a time! I didn't have to wait for the lowest one to load and click again, I just kept clicking the arrow and yahoo, I got where I wanted really fast! Made me feel a little like a dummy for taking so long to find that feature.
I bet @ninnymary thinks I've been long winded with this explanation!

Oh. I see! That arrow between the numbers for the pages. It just shifts the page number so you can click the page you want.

Looking for new posts: Something I do not do is go through the forums, 1 at a time.

Of course, I've got ideas like everyone else probably does about a new, special forum, just because I have an interest there. More and more, dividing my attention? Better not. And, better not assume that other gardeners have exactly my interests ...

an Asian Greens forum ! subdivided into bok choy, choy sum, komatsuna, etc. etc. !

My head is spinning Thistle! This is what you should have said...I discovered that by clicking on the arrow by the page numbers, it will scroll 5 pages at a time!

Haha

Thanks Mary! I've decided to PM you with all my posts and you can edit and make them more succinct!
I know you have the time, since you have no snow to shovel.

 

[ninnymary]

Well, I really don't have time Thistle. I need to get my vitamin D so I have to lay on my lounge chair and bask in that warm sun. Sorry I can't help you.
