Evergreen State Sue Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Hi, let me re-introduce myself . . . I used to be on the WTM board for several years, but decided to take a posting break when the new board started last year. I've still continued to read posts, however, and can't tell you how many times I wished I had responded or asked questions of you. There is a wealth of knowledge as well as fun on this board. That's why I'm back! I used to post as Sue in WA. I've been married for almost 20 years to the man who just before our engagement phase asked, "What do you think of homeschooling?" I replied, "What's homeschooling?" The summer after we were married, we attended a homeschooling class. We were the only ones who didn't have any children! We were finally blessed with our son 6 years after we were married and our daughter arrived 18 months later. They are now ds13 and dd11, and we've been homeschooling from the beginning. I hope you all have a wonderful 2009 with your families. Sue Edited January 4, 2009 by Evergreen State Sue typo - had my dd as a ds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in MO Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I do remember you, Sue in WA, from the old boards! How nice to see you again! I'll have to remember your new nickname, but I may still call you "Sue", if that's OK! Welcome back! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Welcome back! I'm in WA too! I've only been here for two years but I really like it. There's a great group of WTMers here who meet now and then. If you join the WA WTMer social group, you can keep up on the announcements. Our next IRL meeting is in February, in the Seattle area.

Evergreen State Sue Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 How nice to be remembered all the way from MO! Yes, you may just call me Sue. I tried to use my old board name, but it said it was already used. I think I tried signing up once before but something went wrong. WA is the Evergreen State so it's still me!

Evergreen State Sue Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for the welcome! I'm still trying to figure out how all the buttons work here. When I get it all figured out, I'll join that WA social group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen State Sue Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 How do I post a reply directly under someone's post? I clicked on the Quick Reply of that person, but my message just went to the bottom. Any help for this newbie? Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 That's what I do. I just click on the quill pen icon within the post of the person I'm responding to. The box appears at the bottom of the thread, but the post shows up within that person's sub-posts in the thread. Make sense? Probably not. But, you're doing it right. In "Linear Mode", the full posts are listed in the order they're posted, but in "Threaded Mode", you see the posts in outline format, similar to the old boards (only from top-down, instead of bottom-up). I like "Hybrid Mode". That will allow you to see all the posts in outline format at the top (threaded mode), and still read all the posts chronologically in the order in which they were posted (linear mode). You can change your mode by clicking on the "Display Modes" tab at the right of your screen. Also, under "Forum Tools", you can click "Mark this Forum Read", and it will un-bold the messages. That way, when you come back, you can easily see which messages have new posts in them. This is probably more than you needed to know, but I just wanted to say "Welcome Back."

Evergreen State Sue Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for the help, Suzanne. That Hybrid Mode was just the ticket. I can't find where Forum Tools is located. I see Thread Tools, but that doesn't seem to have what you mentioned. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Another Washingtonian here to welcome you back! Hope you can stick around and join in more now! I came on here just AFTER the switch, so I never saw the old boards. I've learned so much here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Oh, you have to be on the General Board (or another main forum) page to have the Forum Tools tab. Sorry, I forgot that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 To get to the social groups, from the board front page click on the "User Control Panel" button on the far left. Then, you will see a list of available groups. The groups are listed in order of when they were created, with the most recent at the top. The one I am talking about is "WA WTMers," created on 9-26-2008, listed near the bottom. Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
