    Thanks. I see you got to include the space if there is one in the member's name.

      It should bring up a person's name when you start typing it, and then you can just click on it and it will post. I think.

        So, if I type mossrose ... nope.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            You have to type the @ before the name? I think.

                  I've never messed with the @ tag before. I notice that H_A uses it liberally, though she seems incapable of using the simple QUOTE function.

                    I had to figure out all by myself that I needed to tweak something in my settings so that I actually got a notification that someone had poked me.

                    I guess that makes me one of the techs on staff around here, at least in dear rogue-y's opinion.

                    Boy, is he wrong.

                    • I've noticed that if someone puts a Bible verse in a Thread title and you click on it, you don't go to the thread but the Bible look-up. See the current thread in Theology that references Matthews 19:9.

                      Any chance this can be disabled in a thread title?

                        For now, the best way around that is to make sure there's some text BESIDES just the reference -- I had the same trouble, so we added some words to the "scripture verse only" thread title.

                        Beyond that, Sparko may have a solution.

                        In the meantime, as my budder Rogue pointed out, you just have to click on the little blue thing at the beginning of the line...

                          No. I have a java script add on from blue letter bible that automatically hyperlinks scripture to make it easier to look up what a verse is. Unfortunately it also seems to make mistakes like hyperlinking verses in titles and sometimes wrongly linking words in sentences that it thinks are bible verses, like if I say " That is 3 times harder than it should be" it will link the words "is 3" as Isaiah 3.

                            Thanks, Sparko. I have seen the is 3 issue myself. I guess I'll have to be more careful on where I click.

                            • This is about timing out.

                              If I reply to a post and start composing a response, if I take too long I start getting pop ups about failed access to the server (something like that). My logon has timed out. There doesn't seem to be a way to just logon again without getting right out of everything. I've noticed if I hit preview often enough it doesn't time out. I can just carry on and shut down the pop ups but it's a pain. Is there a better way?

                              If I read a long post, stop for coffee or otherwise don't do anything for a while it times out. Fair enough. The problem is that the page still shows as if I'm logged on and I can't see any way to logon and stay where I am.

                                Are you checking the box that says "remember me" when you log on?

                                Also you might try
                                1. clearing your cookies and then logging on again and click the remember me box.
                                2. Try a different browser or check your browser setting to see if it is refreshing or deleting your cookies every so often.
