Noticing difficulty when adding a link to a post...

Perhaps adding a window border around the add link popup might make it more distinct. In the dark theme I'm using everything tends to blend a little. Also, shifting the Save Cancel buttons to the RHS on the Edit would move the clear of the area the add link popup occupies. Then they'd be in the same place as "Post" normally sits.

I like everything about it... but it would be convenient to add 'see your posts' to the menu when you are in a particular thread. You can only see this in main topic mode.

Well, you could put some money where your mouth is.... did you notice how many of us have that little blue shield next to our user names?

Just sayin'

Can someone teach me how to skip this so every time when I login by using my computer will directly go to new posts and not those "click to expand" screen? (I login with my cellphone it directly go to new posts.)
Thank you

This is the way it looks for me. I've been looking for options for changing it or unfurling the posts, but I'm a little unsure about this one.

Is there any way to get more than 20 results on a thread search? For example, there's close to 500 pages of posts to the Aleph J illustrated build guide thread. Even doing a search (assuming you know the correct search terms) can result in many many pages of results. I'm finding this a very tedious process, especially with my multiple RSI hand problems. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If that is all you are seeing it would be a problem. As it is, a search page has 20 entries per page regardless of our settings. It should have a page selector at the bottom and I would like to see it revised to have this at the top as well.

After 10 pages, there is a button for seeing older entries, except in search this thread mode where 200 posts seems to be the limit.

Ok, under my account name there is a preferences tab that allows the max displayed messages to be set to 100. This will help although a larger number would be my preference.

Hey new and loving this site. My wife says I have male pattern blindness so I'm sure the answer to this question will be obvious. How do like a post, there is no button that I can see? PM me if I'm locked out. Thanks

Thanks Tom. As new member I'm on probation and can't like, surprising as that is a positive thing. No thumbs up button yet. Kind of like the Boy Scouts you have earn your badges. :)

Thanks for creating this forum - with excess enthusiasm, I registered myself and only came to the realisation later today that as a person who is just getting started with my audiophile journey I cannot add value as I am not one who is capable of building my own equipment.
I fear I won't be able to add value to this site in the way it is intended.

With the above in consideration, I think it would be better to delete my profile from your membership. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Cheers

Hi Gunat,
When I came here, I was an absolute noob with 10 thumbs.
But slowly, with diligence and lots of reading of posts and articles of knowledgeable members and their kind guidance , I have slowly started shaping my thumbs into fingers.
It's a never ending journey to learn new things here.

?! You're the best kind of new forum member! All you probably really know is the self serving consumer advertising B/S and any well meaning, yet (often seriously) misinformed, online DIYers that I (in retrospect) joined the various audio/HT forums to refute/dispel, (re)educate ~27 yrs ago, so at the least it's a good plan to lurk as a member, so you can see all the added content w/o ads and if nothing else you can always show some gratitude by becoming a donating member (subtly isn't in my nature ;)).

Just asking questions is a contribution in itself, as it paves the way for answers. If we don’t explore our curiosity and seek help from others, answers may never find their way into public domain.

I can’t count the number of times I have searched for an answer and been led to this forum. Discussion stay open for a long time, and this is a great thing. We’re living in a time when other forums seem to now be disposable and close topic discussions after a mere few weeks or months. That happens to be right around the time when someone comes along with the same question or an answer.

If that were the case, some of us, hmm.. would have been kicked out a long time ago.

I guess they keep us around for entertainment?

That and the dubious fact that I have excellent taste of music. - I don't much build anymore... For sure some of the people in here use full blown engineering skills mixed with the skill of a technician. Myself. I ain't that good with analog hardware (*) anymore and the technicians in the lab are superb and have much better eyesight.

It's an enjoyable site.

Stick around... even if all you do is build your own cables. ;-)

(*) Heck, even digital has gone to Verilog/VHDL.

Please do stick around. Audio enthusiasm is all that is needed. You should see some of the responses I have got on this forum, to balance that, there are many kind and supportive members who have made my journey worthwhile.

I even had the one and only Nelson Pass put in a word of encouragement !
