You can skip page 2 and half of page 3. It is just cross posting of the same thing. Over and over and over. If we all post something it will knock it down where we don't have to wade through it all the time.
Thank you Daniel--problem solved. Good luck to your team.

Good Idea. Do you think people post the same thing over and over because they didn't get enough attention as a child or because they want to be so obnoxious that readers ignore their postings? :]

I suppose it is possible that they don't understand how the site works, but this same guy has done this before, so it looks like he is just trying to get maximum attention.

I hope you guys all cut me a little slack. I have been putting off posting since they changed the format and decided I was missing out of all your posts.
I feel clueless with this new format. :(

Welcome back Marilyn. This might help you to adjust. Go to the bottom of the screen where it says "Comments Viewing Options". Set your viewing to "Flat List Expanded", "Date - Newest First", and "30 Comments Per Page". Then hit Save Settings and it should be easlier to navigate the site. The most recent posts will be directly under the original post, and they get older as you go down the list. I usually start at "Recent Posts" at the top left of the screen so that I can see which new posts I have not seen yet. This new format allows people to make comments directly from the Times regular website, which are not put into any particular forums, so the Recent Posts option allows me to see everything.
I hope this helps you get re-acclimated.

Well, for me, it's a combination of both and a few little other things sprinkled in that we can leave unmentioned for now

Bazooka Joe - I am glad you're feeling better and posting.
I think that the poster that made repeated postings did it unitentionally, because later in the day I saw that he did it again and then they disappeared.

Why would someone do it unintentionally?

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people that aren't that familiar with computers aren't sure if something has posted or not so they press the button again and again. I have taken online courses and some of my classmates didn't get the hang of posting all quarter long. Then again, he could just be obnoxious. :)

Daniel has eliminated all but 1 of the cross-posts. Maybe now someone will respond to his posts.

I didn't know who everyone was talking about until now. We've been getting extra copies of the DL List (Daniel Lopez Listings) for a while now. He looks like a nice guy if that's his real picture in his avitar, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, it's hard to get up to date info with what's been happening with the Pitbull Club these days.
They say the fundraisers are good, though Ive never been
Well Daniel says its the best Club that hes ever seen
Oh and, he should know, he's been there enough,
Lord I miss daniel, oh I miss his duplicate postings so much.
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
He's off with the Pitbull Club, heading for spain
Oh and, I can see Daniel waving goodbye
Looks like a gesture for Smokey, must be the clouds in my eyes

Stoney, it sounds like BJ has been in the house too long. Someone needs to take him out for a night with the boys.

Someone needs to cut off his supply of medicinal herb that he got hold of.
