Re: Reading posts
Wonder if hobbes is just trying to teach us all a lesson about avatars?!
Or about dancing, maybe!

I hadn't realised that Viv had moving signs! Has she moved on to Winnie the Pooh now!hobbes wrote:I took some nice pics of Viv's signs in Dorset so maybe i could adapt one of those.
Re: Reading posts
Tony, are you telling us that the Faraway Tree is now to be found in The Hundred Acre Wood? Surely that isn't in Dorset?

Gosh, that site is very hard on the eyes! Looks like The Hundred Acre wood has been "honeyed" up by Viv. (No offence, Viv)

Re: Reading posts
Well I have killed off my dancing Hobbes. He was starting to irritate me too although please note he was not Tigger but hobbes from the Watterson Strip Calvin and Hobbes, the sweetest cartoon strip ever drawn. Hobbes is also my nikname. Apparantly I have much in common with the lazy, sleep loving tiger!
Viv has kindly allowed me to use her sign from Corfe Castle (aka Kirrin Station!!). The out of shape middle aged one is me!!!

Re: Reading posts
So I might qualify as childish too, though not as childish as you - I read the Far Away Tree trilogy for the first time some months ago , and I'm in my thirties...Moonraker wrote:Very wise, hobbes. He who crosses Ming, lives to regret it has always been my motto.hobbes wrote:Well I can't possibly comment. I wouldn't want to be sent to Coventry
Personally, I admit to being childish, As Mollybob (I think) said, or implied, it's pretty childish to be reading The Faraway Tree in your fifties!

Re: Reading posts
Split from 'Musicals'.
Active posts and new posts are viewed on the board index pages, Rob. Do you go into the forums another way then if you don't see both of these options?Rob Houghton wrote:back in January I never viewed 'new posts' because I didn't know it existed, until you mentioned it in another thread!

Re: Musicals
I used to go in through the main index page and just look in each section to see which subjects had new posts. I don't think I'm the only one on the planet who did it this way, lol!!! Anyway,if you view this website on a tablet, as I often do, the 'active' posts and 'recent posts' options aren't there...
I always look at the 'recent posts' and 'active posts' nowadays...because both are different - so if you only view 'recent posts' you miss a lot of new posts!
Its mainly that I'm still wondering why Microsoft sort my emails into junk and none junk depending on what day it is. The other day six EB Society notifications went straight to junk, when the day before the same subject notifications had gone to my inbox. Its not really anything to do with this website... now I always do look at both New Posts and active posts.

Re: Musicals
I always view the site in mobile version because I'm either on my kindle or my phone, and, as Rob says, the mobile site has no options like 'view new posts' etc, nor does it have the user control panel or pm section etc.
I wouldn't use the view new posts thing even if it was available though, I just look at which sections have a yellow icon (yellow means new posts) and just look at every yellow section and read each yellow-marked thread.

Re: Reading posts
Sorry to go off topic, as I'm in Musicals [now moved], but as we're talking of the posts. I always go in through the Home Page, so I can view the messages for Barney first. Then I press the forums on the top right from the Home Page, and go in that way. We must all view differently.
