Re: The \"I\'ts Here!\" thread type

Thanks to Gary for answering this question. You haven't done anything wrong, please don't think I'm scolding at all. It's just much easier for everyone if you start your own thread, and keep the responses in that thread. If you ask a question in someone else's thread and people start answering there, you not only steal the thread, but then some will never even know it's there because it's not in the title of the thread where you asked the quesiton. Then, if you start a thread with the same question, you'll have people answering in both places, very confusing.
It'll only take you a little while to figure it all out. Clicking a favorite thread is a good way to keep up with your posts, but you'll also always be able to find your own threads by simply looking at who the poster was that started the thread.
If you want to PM anyone, click on their user name, and scroll down to where you see send a private messgage. When you recieve a private message, you'll see a little e-mail icon flashing next to main index. Click on that, and you'll go to your mail. You can also access that by clicking on My Home at the top, and then mail. You can send and recieve. Make sure to put a check in the options you want, i.e. keep a copy, preview etc. We're all very willing to help you out as much as possible. John
