Read This Thread, Brant


Recommended Posts

"View New Content" doesn't seem to be displaying most new posts. I found this out by clicking on my profile then my posts and then my particular posts and seeing new posts on the thread subsequent to my posting that I never noticed in View New Content.

Want to see the most recent post of an active thread, including your own post?

Go to Portal (follow the link above on this page) and then click on Today's Active Topics. This will give you all the most recent posts, including your own, as if you had clicked on "recent posts" with the "today" option instead of "since last visit."

Doing this will make sure you can see both your own recently posted to threads as well as those active with the posts of others. When you click on the title of any thread that comes up it will take you to the most recent post.

The only problem is that getting back there after you actually do visit one of those active threads requires going again to portal, and then again to Today's Active Topics.

That's why I suggest just bookmarking Today's Active Topics so you can go there in one click.

It works!. Thanks, Ted.

I am not an altruist, Brant. I expect you to sanction me for this.

This was a purely self interested intervention on your part.

You are protecting yourself from whining by everyone who reads this post. (Not only Brant can find this information useful.)

Jeffrey,

I was going to welcome you to OL, but...

Dayaamm!

:)

(Don't take the banter seriously...)

Welcome to OL.

Michael

Thank'ee.

Just expressing an uplift of spirits, like a man stretching his legs out after finding a comfortable sofa, on the realization that there are places on the 'Net where intelligent Objectivists can be found. (Brant, at least, will know whereof I speak.) (Although--fair warning--I am not an Objectivist myself.)

I sanctioned you but don't expect a free ride on MY name! Remit $25.

I've been very cranky these last few days. I spent most of Thursday in the emergency room after Mom fell down and hit her head, and when I finally got home I found OL had turned into a pumpkin. I am now starting to be impressed. Mom comes home tomorrow with a few stitches and a black eye. When old people hit their heads--and not so old--you want Cat Scans to rule out intracranial bleeding. My aunt by marriage didn't do that and spent the last seven years of her life in a nursing home after suffering an effective stroke caused by pressure on the brain that could have easily been relieved if caught in time by the insertion of a shunt. A boy in Australia recently suffered a head injury and his doctor under the instructions of a remote neurosurgeon used a common electric drill to drill a hole in his skull to relieve bleeding pressure. Ronald Reagen fell off a horse in Mexico after he was President, hit his head and got a shunt. Words to the wise.

Now is probably not the best time to read Busman's Honeymoon.

But you're lucky it wasn't worse. I came home from work a year and a half ago and found my mother lying on the living room floor: she had fallen and broken her thighbone. Or, possibly, fallen because of a spontaneous fracture.

And two weeks later I slipped on a concrete floor at work and fractured my pelvis in three places. Oh, that was a fun time for everyone. And now I set off metal detectors, of course....

Glad it turned out as well as it did.
