I feel silly even asking this question but I'm going to have to make a fool of myself sooner or later. Or should I say again? Wha does a thread mean within the context of a furum. It is obviously not the same as a post I'm assuming. Also I can I see the lst post or threads given in descending order? Thanks and please be kind. I'm very sensitive! Thanks a again, Bewildered in Sagutack? Aaron Jason Silver

Hi! The terms are all subsets of one another:

Forum = our happy little world here...where we gather to discuss, chatter, yammer, fight, flirt, joke...yada yada..

Thread = any of the various topics that people bring up (e.g. the unusually lengthy and persistent umbilical cord of a certain latin lover). The thread is a "room" in our little world where we all talk about that one issue.

Post = the individual remarks that members make in a thread.

So...for example...

You have created this thread...in the Soulforce forum...by making the first post. I make post number two in your thread.

You asked also about sorting threads in descending order...I don't know about that. But if you look under any of the 7 general categories...at the bottom of the list of threads you'll see "Page 1 of 10 1 2 3 > Last » ". Clicking on "Last" will take you to the earliest posts in that category.

Hope this helps. If I didn't understand your questions let me know.

Dash, why are you so cool?

See, that was a post, within a thread, within a forum... see? It's easy. You'll catch a hang of it.

That was very helpful. Thank you so much. I'll still probably screw up from time to time but the technical side of my brain under a cat scan is just blackeness. Not a lot of lit up areas. It's all over in my left hemosphere. I think my right hemospere was just put there for symetry. Thanks again, Aaron
