Hi, I'm new on here and although I've searched and searched, I can't find how to display posts and answers in chronological order, although SMF tells me to go to my profile and "In your profile, in "Look and Layout", uncheck "Show most recent posts at the top." and save, that way the post will show in chronological order, new post will show at the end of the thread."
    But nowhere can I find this option? Everything I look at comes in backwards order, so I'm seeing the latest post, when I actually want to read the first post otherwise I have no idea what folks are talking about LOL What am I missing?
Thanks

OK, found it now, all done :)

Is there any way of finding a message I have sent to a member a couple of weeks ago Regards Chris

It will be in your outbox, provided you checked the 'save a copy to my outbox' box before sending the message.

Otherwise I suspect the only way to find out is to write again to the person you sent the message to, and ask them what you said!

Why is it that when i want to look at my old messages it gives me a list of page nos but page 1, 2 are actually the most recent messages? Meaning i cannot view old messages.
thank you.

Well I am using my laptop to search the forum but each time I click on the box I get Almeria Homes page come up????????????????????????????????


Angel

Ok, have to use my laptop then if I want to do a search.

felipe

It must be an iPad thing. As I have tried it on two PCs, two phones and two tablets and it is working fine - non ipad. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Angel

Still getting Almeria Homes pop up, never touched the banner!

Angel

Am using an iPad and as you say it is nowhere near the banner will try again.

felipe

Are you using a tablet or phone? Maybe the screen is small and you are touching the banner. Although the banner is at the top of the screen and no where near the search facility. I have just tried it using a phone and it works fine.

Angel

Have been trying to do a search but Almeria Homes advert keeps popping up, tried numerous times very frustrating.

It is apparent that some members are not sure on how to carry out a search on the forum. In effect there are three methods.

Method 1. On the home page where ALL the boards are listed type in your search words in the search box on the top right. Be specific. Just putting in logs will bring up 4 pages of posts. Log delivery is better.

Method 2. You can go to a specific board such as Entertainment and search in that board only use the same as above.  This will provide you with a list of results in that board only.

Method 3.  Click on the SEARCH option that is next to the HELP link in the menu bar. Then click on ADVANCED Search. Use the form to be even more specific in your search criteria.

Hopefully this will help prevent the repeated requests for translators, dentists, pool cleaners etc etc etc. :):):)
