How to read older posts?
« on: May 31, 2006, 03:55:04 PM »
I have been reading this board for about a year now and I keep up

to date by cliking on the recient activity button and reading

everything that is new.


I would like to be able to read older posts that I have not read.

Say 2 year old posts.  The only way I know how to do that is to

click on a category (wind for example) and then keep clicking next

until I get through all the stuff I have already read until I find

something I have not read yet.  This takes forever and I have to start

over again everytime.


Is there anyway that I can get a list of stuff that I have not read?


Something else that would add to this board is a category for questions

about how to use the board.  I did not know where to post this question

because it is not a diary, it's not really a rant it's just a question

about how to use the board.

Well, what I've been doing is going through each heading :  Front Page - (wind) (solar) (hydro) (controls) (storage)... etc., one at a time. that way, it's all related, under a topic, and it seems to take less time. After that, there's the old board, which is a bit difficult to move around in.


Good luck!

Yes that is what I have been doing.

I just clicked on "Wind" and I had to

go through 31 pages to find something

that I have not read.  Next time I will

have to go through 32.

the 2nd page for the wind section is;

http://www.fieldlines.com/section/wind/2


to go straight to the 32nd page, delete the 2 and type 32 in the address bar on your browser, then hit return;

http://www.fieldlines.com/section/wind/32


another tip... hold down shift when you click on a link to open the link in a new browser window
