Ok, it's not really copyrighted, lol. Here's the deal: When I joined Creditnet almost a year ago, the board had one-third the number of members. That meant that when I visited the bulletin board, I would see the most recent 25 threads, and that was plenty. Now, with 3000 members, you practically have to page-flip once or twice just to view the day's active threads, and I hate that because all of the Creditnet graphics and ads have to roll in every time. So what's the solution? Enter my bookmarks. Just click on them, and bookmark them for easy access. Then, after you finish reading a thread, you can just invoke the bookmark again (rather than clicking the up arrow which will just give you the most recent 25 again). I put the 50-thread bookmark on my Internet Explorer toolbar for a quick one-click access. 50 Creditnet Threads at a time (Double) 75 Creditnet Threads at a time (Triple) 100 Creditnet Threads at a time (for DSL/cable only) Not quite as good as deleting inquiries, I realize (cough, cough), but this has helped me.

Thanks Doc! You seem pretty knowledgeable when it comes to computers. Have you taken classes like sysco, etc?
Naaaah Matty, he is learning this through the highly controversial and very subversive group PHA the Psychiatric Hackers of America...not everything can be taught in a class. -Peace, Dave
LOL, Nave, Marie and breeze, too true. Matty, I'm 41 years old (I sound like that woman on Saturday Night Live -- "Ah'm FIFTEH... FIFTEH YEE-AHS ODE... FIFTEH.") Anyway, I'm so old I cut my teeth on a Commodore 64 computer in 1987. I confess that -- even at the ripe old age of 26 -- I spent a fair amount of time snooping around what used to be known as "bulletin boards" or "BBSs" which were basically little self-contained online services that people used to host in their homes. Anyway, the "perpage" command was a pretty common one even back then. So, Nave's right. They don't teach that in school. Only age imparts such lofty wisdom. Ahem. On the other hand, you still get to be 18. My, how youth is wasted on the undeserving. Doc
Yup, a Tandy with no hard drive. Got on the "net" before it was the net - with a PS2 16 mhz and 2400 baud modem. Prodigy, AOL, and Compuserve was all there was. Actually, I worked on one of the original IBM mainframes - when they fed them mag cards - in the late 60's while I was in college. It filled it's own building and had tubes, like an old radio.
Yup...had a Tandy and Prodigy...lol. I remember a few years ago I had an attack of nostalgia for P* and did a trial. Couldn't remember how to access any of the channels...lmbo. L
breeze, we still had the punch cards on the mainframe when I was a freshman in college in the early 80s. whyspers, I had Prodigy for a little while in the early 90s when they finally brought a client on the Mac. It was a bit clunky, but the community was pretty nice on the bulletin boards there! I miss it sometimes too. About Bkev's latest posting, lol... Here's a translation: more proof your are pbm Doc
We got to use "PUNCH CARDS" in ACCOUNTING CLASS IN COLLEGE...late 70's... That project was PASS 100% or FAIL...you could not have even one mistake!!! IT WOULD NOT WORK RIGHT...I THINK IT WAS A SPREAD SHEET...
DOC!!!! I need your help!!!! Somehow, I got the "double" thread view on my puter. How do I turn it off?
Erica, just go back to viewing this board the way you used to (i.e., without the links I mentioned). Or, if your browser is somehow "remembering" the last way you entered the board (how in the world that would work is beyond my comprehension, though, lol), then use the following link (which mandates a "perpage" of 25 again): http://consumers.creditnet.com/stra...r=&sortfield=lastpost&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 Doc
