Help me to navigate this forum site please

Can you help me understand? I’ll be talking home pc and not cell phone but I looked in my cell and navigating was a little different but what I find is the same.

The first page shows postings in categories. If I go to the bottom of the first page and click “more”, the second page is listed by “Latest” post. This morning I clicked on one that said the latest post was 2 hrs ago, but I’m finding the last post was July of 2022.

I’m confused again. What am I missing? @dbrn32 @BobbyDigital @Myfriendis410 or any of you other mods out there who might know. Thanks.

A spammer came along and bumped a 2 year old thread this morning. The thread remains on top, but the spammer’s posts have been deleted.

Ahhh, ok. I’ve wondered this before but have hesitated asking until now. Thanks. :v:

Right. It kind of depends if you’re looking at topic start date or most recent activity. In this case, you probably don’t see that the posts from earlier were deleted. So the thread got bumped but there isn’t indication as to why.

I have iphone for work and android for personal phone. If I had to summarize the differences I would say iphone has a specific way to do nearly every task but on android there is usually multiple ways to do any task. The forum software works more like android software in that there is usually several different ways to end up in the same place. It’s probably most confusing because there is a lot of actions behind the scenes that aren’t displayed the same for you as they are for those with higher trust levels.

That sheds light on a couple things too. I’ve seen where postings have been deleted where other times not and the only indication is what I’m reading in later posts, ended up scrolling back looking for what I may have missed.

But doesn’t shed quite as much light as your cake is putting out!!! :laughing: :rofl: Happy B-day to you, sir. :clinking_beer_mugs:
