@frogandtoad OMG, is that new? First I am hearing of it. I don't see how to use it or how it helps. I have used countless other products like most email clients, every other forum I have ever belonged to and hitting reply opens up an indented line to post the reply to that post. What you are showing me is many pages back. How do you use it?

First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

Of course it's new... that's why you have to do some reading and investigation before you make some false, outrageous claims 😉

Click on the down arrow icon as I showed in my image!

Cheers

@frogandtoad I did, don't see how it helps. Perhaps you can point me to the help document I was supposedly told about. I am operating with one eye today after possibly botched surgery so seeing the screen is a major challenge on top of my normal daily autistic issues.

Ron, you're confusing me, because your answers keep evolving to a different question!

Yes, it's new, with the new forum version! - Is that clear?

I have no idea about what help document you are supposedly talking about... can you please elaborate on that?

What part of the info I provided on the threaded links are you not happy with?
That kind of threading is what you were actually requesting, no?

Cheers

@frogandtoad I think this link will clarify. As far as I can tell what they added to this forum is a picture. That is not the same as taking me to the reply I am getting the email notification about. Then I can click reply to that post and my reply will be indented under that etc.

True... it does show the thread(s), but does not allow you to reply directly by clicking the link.

It's 6 of 12, half dozen of the other at the moment 😉

Not all so bad!

Cheers
