Hi Admin I would like to know if you have control over focus in the replay window? I don't really know where it ends up but in every window I open it is not in the typing window. Reply, search, and quick reply. That would make my life easier if you could do that. I just start typing. (I look at my hands) and I look up and I have nothing. The other option is for me to relearn to type and I have been trying that for many years. Old dyslexics can't be taught apparently.

Also if you have any control over it being able to sort the Member listing by member would be awesome!!

KWhite,

If you want to see what a certain member has posted, you can click on their name and it takes you to their profile and on the right it has the messages they started and responded to. Just click on that and it shows you their history on here with their postings.

Does this help any?

kwhite, are you talking about having to left click in the boxes to be able to type words. I guess I do not think about it anymore, it is just a habit :wink: I always look for a flashing cursor no matter what site I am on, some are there automatically some are not.... :roll:

I have forgot to click on the box a couple of times and just typed away, just to look up and see nothing! :oops: I figured I was the only one, but now I rem!

I added the auto focus.

For new posts/pm it should focus on the subject. For replies, it should focus on the message text area.

Please test it out. Hopefully, it will be working properly.

Thanks Admin :D :D :D

Dude you totally ROCK!!!!!!!

Can someone please explain what this thread is about, and what auto focus is? Thanks :)

Sure that is geek speak about where the cursor (the blinking line) lands when you start a new thread or reply to one. Have you ever noticed that when you click on reply and the window opens you then had to click again on the box where you type before you start to type? Well now when you hit reply the cursor will already be in the box where you type and you do not have to click again to start typing. Where the cursor begins is called focus. I have been helping develop computer programs for 10 years now and these are things I see that maybe others would not. I hope that helps.

Oooooh, thanks kwhite for filling me in :) :) :)

Ok, i just tested it. If you hit post reply, the cursor is in the box, if you hit quick reply, you have to put the cursor there yourself. Funny, i've never looked to see if the cursor is there, i just always automatically put it there, even if it is there lol

Ahhhh Admin has more work to do. Good catch.

while we're on the 'how does it work?' question, above the reply window it says: quote.....code.....list.....img.....url.

what do they do? i'm still fiddling around with color, bold, italics and underline. and what's with the sizes? my computer only knows one size. one size fits all.

Butterflywing I don't know those answers. Maybe Admin can enlighten us both.

where is quick reply?

I fixed it. Thanks.

It's a link at the bottom of the page.

You can try the tags when creating a message, and then use the preview button instead of submitting to see what they all do.

Right below the banner below this window.

one more question for admin -

is that a peanut or a tongue in your mouth?

Ask k3n :)

HUMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shady!!!!!!

asked and waiting for an answer. it had better not be too dirty or you'll get thrown off the board.

are you sure you're not a 50-year old bald guy with a pot belly and a terrific sense of humor?

Oh what tags what tags? Oh please tell me lol :) Do you mean there's some kind of tags, like how you have tags on a blog?

More Geek Speak Barb. Let's see if Admin can speak "laymen"

Admin - a gentleman doesn't name names so thanks for that :evil: !

And a lady never tells.... :mrgreen:

The above is placed inside quote tags.

hmmm, so i guess this isn't something i need to understand to do just regular posting??? lol hope not, cus i don't get it, but if i don't need to get it, then thats ok LOL LOL Thanks for trying to explain :)

Oooooooh, i get it!!! :) This is very cool. Now, a list of things i am learning. I am learning:

learning lots bout quilting[list]making tons of good friends :)

edited to add, it didnt work! lol lol lol Oh well :)

i got the part about the bullets, but i can't figure out how to bullet where you want to. this forum should come with instructions. the rest of it, i just don't get. i know i don't need it, but i HAVE to know.

amma i love the little horse that runs back and forth in your tag line. :)

[img] not sure what this is either [/img]

I see

in case you're wondering what the hay the above msg means, I was just trying tofigure out what the different thingies in the boxes do - mostly nothing as far as I can tell

I feel like I've strayed into geek land!
