I'm old and confused.......

Howcum on some threads all the messages are laid out so you can just scroll down and read them, and on other threads, only the initial posting is there, and then you must go to the bottom of the page and click on another subject line to see that message? In the latter case, you can only see the first post, and the one you just clicked. To see more, you need to click on every subject line. Am I missing something fundamental? Can anyone esplain why this is?

that is weird must be how you have it set up.

Because this site is up to date in format and those others whether it be nostalgia, cluelessness, or mental illness, have not updated to current practice.

Huh?

Oh...I found it...look above your post, to the right in the black band...see "options". Choose "standard". That will make the board read "properly". I hit "outline" and it only shows the initial post, the replies are below and must be clicked to read.

Somewhere along the line you may have hit that button by accident? I had no idea there were any other ways to view the threads. Learn something new everyday

Does Options also affect pic viewability?

Looks like photos are not visible in "outline" mode.

Not everyone will see a black band. It depends on which "skin" you have selected. You can change the way the site looks with the "skin selector" at the lower left. Different color schemes, different headers, etc.

Thanks everybody. I think I have this figured out now. I use a number of different computers to look at this board, and I'm betting that I've got one or more of them set on "outline". This one is on "Standard", but you can bet I will check the ohters when I can! Many thanks for the input.
