I am with you. I feel like every time I answer a posting or post a new question, it is lost. Can someone tell us where "directions" are? Thanks!

Brookpoint and mimigirl are you having trouble finding the threads you have responded to?
If this is your question: Just click on your name next to your avitar in this post. It will take you to: find all posts by...(your name).
Click on that and you will see everything you've responded to.

As you are able to see the responces on this thread I am guessing that the poblem lies in locating your own threads, so that you can see the responces.

Brookpoint, I have checked and can't see that you have started any threads.

Mimigirl, I can only see a blog entry you have started not a thread.

How are you trying to create new threads, it may be that the problem lies there rather than in retrieving responces.

Sorry I haven't been around, had computer problems but all is well now

Here are some tips for getting around on OB:
New to forums? Some tips to get you started...

To confirm you are set up to get notifications when somebody posts in a thread after you do, open your UserCP and make sure you have "Yes" checked for notifications.

OK, this is how I post new threads, there may be other methods I'm not sure.

1. On the 'Site Menu' at the side click on 'Forums'

2. In the main window choose the sub-forum you want to post on and click on it to see all the existing threads.

3. At the top of that sub-forum just above the list of existing threads there should be a button for 'New Thread', click on that and create your message.

4. When you have finished clcik on the 'Submit New Thread' button. If you miss this step it won't save your thread.
