Hey Brian

Computer literacy has never never been my middle name. I don't find it easy to navigate here....especially trying to advance a page within the same "forum". That way I can read more posts!

Please, for the ignorant, give a step by step for me to accomplish this.

Thanks.

Terry,

Getting used to message boards takes a little time and some clicking around. The nice thing is most boards operate in this same fashion. Here are some tips that may be helpful.

• Use the browsers back button. - You can use this button to retrace your steps.
• At the top of the message board, you will find a "Directory Tree". You can click on "Rusty Putters Golf Club" to return to the main message board screen or the "Forum" name to return to its main page.
• At the bottom of the board in the Forum Statistics section. There is a link to view the most recent posts.

Please let me know if I can further assist. You comments and question will help in building an FAQ for this site.

Brian, as always you are most helpful. However, .....I'm still unsure of how to read multiple pages of posts in one forum. Will I be able to scroll to Page 2, for example, to read all posts...and will the most recent post appear at the top of the list? Doesn't look like it based upon the two messages here. Answers by words of one syllable are always best.

If a topic or forum reaches a length, unknown by me, the system will automatically create a second page. In the lower left after all of the postings, you will see a "page" indicator. Once the system creates the second page, you will see a dropdown box. Use this box to select the page you would like to view. You will also see a ">>" symbol. You can use these symbols to do from one page to the next. None of our boards are long enough to see this function. Here is a support board where you can see this function. support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=v4

The most recent post will be at the end. This is also a common feature on message board.

Thanks for the nice comments and I hope the syllables were not too bad.
