Need Help With TBN Addiction

[jfakerj]

I agree with Bird about the jump to feature. Also, it would help if there was a main index button at the bottom along with the top. This would save scroling all the way to the top after reading the last message in a long post. Don't get me wrong. This is great and I've learned alot here. Thanks

Don't feel bad at least you've got a woodshop to keep your tractor in, my tractor sits outside./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
Had a nice small barn at the last house with an equipment shed, sold it to buy this place. More land but no barn. I'll have one in time, a barn that is.

Guess I'll wade into this discussion myself. I don't know about the rest of you, but I find interesting things on almost every topic forum. However, I can't say I read every single message either. I like the 24 hour-all messages format. That way I can easily pick and choose which ones to read. I almost always read one message, then "back" page. If I do read a thread, same thing, always back. That way my "read" messages are highlighted and I can easily see where I've been. The only fallacy to that plan is when I change computers (work to home), then there is no record of what I've read (recently anyway). But it's not too hard to figure out where I left off by looking at the time of the posts. Honestly, I can't think of many changes I'd ask for. The only annoying thing I encounter is that every time I reply to a post, then return to the forum, the page has expired and I have to back page through 5 or 6 pages. Not too big a deal with my cable modem but would be if I had a slow phone modem connection. Other than that, keep up the good work Muhammed!

I just have the forums I follow e-mailed to me on a daily basis...great feature....If there is something I wanna comment on then I goto TBN and hunt up the thread and add my $.02 Works OK if you don't have a lot of 'puter time.

Jump to thread order will be changed to match the main index, soon... and if you use the 'Discussions' link at the bottom, that takes you to the main index. We might add the same links to the bottom as you find on the top... we'll see.

I probably should not say this, and I'm the first one to say I know very little about computers, so I may be doing something wrong about bringing up messages. I usually spend twice the time, or more, to bring up a message as it takes to read them. You first wait for the message, then you wait for the flat, then if it's something very long, you have to wait for the page. If the 24 or 48 hour could be loaded like it works on CTB, you could read all the messages and only have to load them once. I probably read less than 20% of the messages because they take so long to load.

Thanks, I never thought of hitting the discussions at the bottom. That works a lot better than scroling back to the top every time when I want to go back to the main index.

Thanks again.

Count me among the addicts. Makes me wonder what I'll do when the weather improves and there is some "real" tractoring to do. I too use the 24 hour update key but after a weekend away it is pretty daunting trying to catch up. Maybe I'll give Muhamad's approach a try.

Shopping for a new PC for home! Can't wait to improve access from there /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Jerry, yep, clicking on "discussions" at the bottom of the page works, too. I hadn't been doing that, but instead of "scrolling" back to the top, I've just been hitting the "home" key on my keyboard to jump back to the top.
