Janna Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I originally wrote that I wasn't so apt to be on as long because of the time difference it takes to peruse these forums. HA!!! (evil laugh) Yah, um...apparently I'm feeling more comfortable. I do believe I sat down nearly 30 min ago (if not longer :eek:) just "to look really quick". I think I've said to the kids 3 times at least "Ok, we're doing school work in just a minute. Get the table cleared. I'm getting off right now..." And yet here I am typing this NEW THREAD! That's it. I'm getting off. Now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, I seem to be adapting a bit too well, too. I've still got to shower and get the boys showered and dressed. We were supposed to start school 5 minutes ago :eek:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I just told my kids to watch one more Magic School Bus before school and poured another cup of coffee. I think that maybe it takes longer to see what is going on now. Before many of just posted in the title with <nt> so you could scan the titles and get a good idea of the discussions of the day.

I'll go with that. IT has nothing to do with my lack of self control :eek:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I know what you mean. I was sure I'd spend less time here because of all the difficulty I had in trying to figure this all out. But, now, it's a challenge to be conquered. I WILL learn how to do this. I WILL succeed! I WILL not let it beat me! (maniacal laughter inserted here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 You can do it, Dayle! What are you still having trouble with? I'm sure we gals will help bring you into our dysfunctional world of ignoring our children so we can talk about how well we classically educate them, LOL!!!

Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm wondering how the boards work as far as the line up of the posts. On the old boards it worked where the newest posts were at the top. How does this one work? I find that they are all over the place to me. So I don't know if I've read all the new posts for today or not. I'd like to figure that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever someone responds to a post it is bumped back up to the top. A good way to tell what is new - when you log in and go to a certain forum (which is what I do instead of using the "new posts" feature), all of the threads that are new or have a new message added are bold blue. After you scroll past a page or two (depending on how long you've been away), the thread titles are no longer bold blue - those are the threads that haven't been brought back up to the top. Clear as mud? :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Okay!!! I think I can remember that!!!! Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle T Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 So I'm going to have to go cold turkey, or set a timer, or figure something else out. This new format takes much longer to read, because of having to open each post individually, scroll through replies and pages, etc. Before, many posts were just the subject lines, and you could just scroll down the whole page, reading while you went. Much faster. I'm starting to think cold turkey is the way to make the break, but haven't summoned up the self discipline to do it yet!
