Scroll Down -- W-a-a-a-y Down.

Not with an individual entry showing on the screen, but with the list of topics showing, scroll down to the bottom of the page & on the left there are pictures of the little red envelopes, etc., along with explanations of what they stand for.

What I haven't figured out is the significance of the darker & lighter blue colors of the lettering spelling out the topics -- another instance, possibly, of cutting user-friendiness by adding features. So it goes.

Lighter blue - you have visited that link within the time period in which your browser keeps track of visited links. This time period will vary from user to user depending upon the settings in their own browser.

Darker blue - you have not visited that link within that same time period.

... just like on many other sites, and as requested a few times by users.

Yes, we stay up late at night trying to find new ways to make the board more and more user unfriendly. It is our intention to make this place so user unfriendly that it is impossible to use at all. That's why we never implement user suggestions.

And so it goes, indeed ...

I should have said...

...cutting user-friendiness by adding features -- not that there's anything wrong with that.​

Just because I can't figure out how to set my VCR or work all the TUG-BBS features doesn't mean PanaSonic or TUG has a problem. Plus, if I don't read the instructions, whose fault is that? (Don't answer that question.)
