    I noticed a minute timer when I'm editing my own thread.  Once that runs out, am I not able to edit anymore?  If that's the case, that's pretty lame.
    yeah, I can't edit it anymore.  that's f*cking stupid
    You have an hour after you post before you will not be able to edit it anymore.

    Yeah this happens to me a lot. Put in a photo, post some words but, I need to edit stupid words but every time in the process the pic gets screwed up. Why? Fix that! Please! I'll post a pic now to show you what I mean. Then I'll edit the post. 
    EDITED: Let's see if it does what I said it would. 

    2nd EDIT: well, the pic remained. Hope it's fixed :)

    Nope!!  Thanks for trying, Bob, but I just tried it again and nothing's been done. It still deletes my entire post. 

    I think the computer geeks at Ccom must feel everything's okay now and they don't even read this thread anymore. 

    SIGH.....  :(

    Is there such a thing as a member list on this forum?  

    How does a guy go about finding a member's name to click on if he wants to send that member a PM?  Just wander around until you find a post by that member and then click on his name??

    If you go to your inbox (the little icon toward the upper right), click that, then click new message.  As you start to type the username, even if it's a S.W.A.G., it gives you a drop-down of possible matches.

    I just typed in 'handsome old Italian guy with a lovely mustache' and it gave me jlmarta.  ;-)

    seriously, old bean, I'd never have guessed that about a drop-down box.   Thanks a million...

    YOO-HOO, @Krebsie, are your computer-types still working on the problem of the freezing keyboard when using an iPhone??  Do you have any idea of a date for a resolution to that extremely annoying problem??

    sure would be nice.....  o:)

    I've been missing out.

    Ever since I discovered the "discussions" tab I never usually go to the individual sections. ( TPB, NCR, etc.)

    The discussions tab consolidates all the most recently made posts.

    EXCEPT those that the mods have stickied!

    Sticky threads are not view-able in "discussions" even if there have been recent posts.  

    That sucks a little.

    Your notifications have to be prompted so.
    I'm guessing you have your notifications letting you know when people use your @danielzreyes  because you give a lot of good stogies to BOTL

    You can cure this if you ask for notifications on threads you post to

    I know this has been asked before but I can't find the answer -

    Is there any way to delete old conversations from your inbox en masse rather than one at a time?  I've got about 175 old ones to delete and only so many years left in my life......

    damn, that's a tedious process.....

    No there is no quick way to do it.  1 at a time is the only way at this point.

     How do i delete messages from my inbox?
    1. Click on the "Inbox" icon looks like a tray
    2. Click on the conversation that you want to delete
    3. On the top right hand side, there's a big ass red button that says "Delete Conversation"

    My Big Ass Red Button says "Leave Conversation."  Is that the same thing?

    that is the same thing (I am guessing,  that what mine says)  and there is no way at this point (or at least to my knowledge) to delete messages in mass quantities.  one at a time is the only option.  I will take a look and see if I can figure out a setting or something on the backend to add in a select all feature or something along those line.

    @danielzreyes, you may have inadvertently followed the thread. Go into it and at the top right corner next to the thread title, you will see a star. If it's blue, you are following that thread, just click it so that it's white and you should be good.

    Most photos I post were taken with my iPhone. I've noticed that others have posted photos that came out nice and large while mine are all relatively small. True, you can tap on them and a larger page will open up but why is that necessary?  

    How can I make my iPhone photos larger on my posts?

    I just learned that not long ago. If you tap on the pic after it uploads, and hit insert image, it will move it to the body of the message, then hit post comment, it comes out larger. Try it. @Usaf06 explained it to someone else, and I tried it, and it worked!

    Hey Nick! How are you? Hope your family had a nice Thanksgiving! I see you beat me to the punch on helping Marty with the pictures! I learned it from you when you explained it to someone else! Thanks!
