Reply #78: I'm beginning to "get it" although I have to say that it is not ....

[Jazz2006]

even remotely close to being as user friendly as some other venues I frequent.

I had previously figured out the "My DU" bit, which was useful for figuring out where I'd been (and excellent to ascertain whether any responses were posted but not at all useful for figuring out where threads are going or for figuring out that long timers might purport to "respond" to a post on an entirely different thread and act as though that was a legitimate response).

So, I still have some "getting used to" to do, it seems.

Still, it isn't as bad as it first appearsed when one was wholly uninitiated, and I suspect it will grow on me.
