Does it matter?

**MarthaT** · 10-18-2012, 08:41 AM

Whew! It takes too long to read everything everyone writes. I'm doing now what I typically do. Read down through the first page of posts. If I want to leave a comment, I do at that point. If I'm really interested in the thread, I read most everything. I start the thread I read everything. After I post a comment, I might read the last page when it posts. I can't spend all day on the Quilting board. I've got a quilt to work on!!!! LOL!

I like to read all the posts. Especially when quilters from "other" countries respond.

I will admit that until about a couple of weeks ago I relied only on the digest to read the board. Then for some reason I went to the main area and couldn't believe all the threads I've missed! So I now start with the digest and then pop over to the board to see what else I miss.

I sometimes feel guilty about reading the board rather than sewing, but then I can justify it because I read the board on my lunchbreak at work, when I'm not sewing anyway

I am also a member of Knitting Paradise forum. If you ever start a thread or respond to a thread you receive an email when a new comment is made which makes following a post pretty easy. It's great when you are trying to figure out how to do something. You'll receive comments from all over the world and often someone will come up with a different way that surprises everybody.

When I see something that truly inspires me to comment, most often I find that there are already 2 or more pages of comments. When I find that there are more than 4 pages of responsed I close the post and don't add my opinion. So, I was wondering, does it matter to you how many people respond to something you have posted or is it more gratifying to find that oodles of people have been moved to respond? Regardless, I will continue to read every thread created, I enjoy reading everyones comments and learn so much from all the advice.

Like your chief reasoning. my husband is a retired wild land fire fighter chief.

Sometimes the subject is an in progress project, so only reading the beginning pages, would result in missing out on what happens later. I posted progress of a fireworks quilt I made a couple years ago that went on for several months and created 80+ pages of posts.

Could be your browser.

I'm using Firefox.

Under Tools,
Options,
Content (tab)
Colors (in Fonts & Colors section)

In the Link Colors section , do you show two different colors for Visited and Unvisited links?

You can adjust the colors - just take care not to make them to light (hard to see against the white background) or too dark (hard to distinguish from the regular text).

eta: I just changed mine to med blue/dark purpl from blue/dark blue.
When I went to the "site" page, they were changed.

If you're using another browser, sorry, I can't help you.
But if you fish around in the options choices, I'm sure there would be something similar.

MTS, Thanks for your suggestions. Somewhere on here I found that the administrators have to put me in for that and I sent them a message. Still haven't heard. I am in Safari so will chg browser if I don't hear from them.
