Questions
1. Is there a "Home" button here somewhere? Everytime I want to see all the forums, I have to hit my bookmark.
2. The "How Do I" thread is closed? That doesn't make any sense. If any thread should be sticky, that's the one.

I appreciate the suggestion.
No. I use that for another purpose. And it shouldn't be an external requirement.
But I just discovered that clicking on the site header gets me there. Did you know that?

That's what I posted above. Mentioning it somewhere might be a good idea though. Just because I'm clever and exploratory doesn't mean that everyone is. And, duh, maybe a "home" button...

When you log on, it should take you to the forum landing page. No clicking necessary.

Yes, of course it does. It's after each post that it doesn't.

I always have that page open. When I click on a thread, it's "right click and open in a new tab". When I'm done and close that tab, I'm back at the home page. Or is that not what you would want?

Tosses you a nickle. "Get a real computer". Windows is unfriendly to anyone who likes to organize files. Mac Finder is AMAZING!

Cha! The only Mac I ever used crashed with astonishing frequency. I was writing some FORTRAN code on it and got to where I saved after every line of code was entered, so that I wouldn't lose it.

I never met anyone before who crashed a Mac. Did it get power-surged or something mechanical? It might be wort asking about at a Mac help site.

This was in '91. All I was doing was writing code, which is in an editor.

But what is this "rating" stuff (I suddenly noticed)? Can I give a "rating"? How is it different from "likes" There are some people here I admire.

Liking a post is one thing, but if you generally agree with a poster's various stands on issues, you can give them a "rep". Under each name you will see the number of reps a person has received. +/-1, or zero for us common folks, but admins can really bestow some grace, up to 5 (I think). I think that you are limited to doing 5 reps a day. If you click on that number, it takes you to that person's reputation page. There you can input your reason for repping. Default is +1.
And, yeah, we can stop talking about that never-to-be-sufficiently-damned Mac I worked on 28 YA.
