Paul,<br /><br />Yes, it turned red.<br /><br />Nothing else happened, but the button did turn red.<br /><br />- - - - -<br /><br />I do like the posting page being 1 screen instead of 2 (as is the UK forum).

Andy,<br /><br />I've found the up arrow now, and will keep experimenting. <br /><br />Thanks.

OK, once it has turned red for all the quotes you want, hit Add Reply - the posts you chose will appear as quotes, that you can then add to.<br /><br />Cheers, Paul<br /><br /><!--QuoteBegin-John Rupp+Jan 21 2005, 04:12 PM--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE(John Rupp @ Jan 21 2005, 04:12 PM)</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Paul,<br /><br />Yes, it turned red.<br /><br />Nothing else happened, but the button did turn red.<br /><br />- - - - -<br /><br />I do like the posting page being 1 screen instead of 2 (as is the UK forum). <br /> </td></tr></table><br />

I can't see a shortcut to the Concept 2 home page. Neither can't see the active posts button I tend to use a lot. I think I prefer the previous. <br />

[[old] PaulH]

OK, I've added back in the old Concept2 Menu Bar (for the geeks among you, I had to steal the code from the google cache, and convert it from the table-based markup the old board used to the CSS the new one has, but it seems to work the same).<br /><br />If there are other things that don't work as well please post here, and Bill or I will try to fix it. Note: We're not necessarily aiming to make it work *the same*, just so long as it works at least as *well*.<br /><br />Cheers, Paul

Is it possible, when a topic has more than 5 pages (or so ) to show<br /><br />not [1][2][3]>>[6] <br /><br />but [1][2]>>[4][5][6]<br /><br />as the last pages are more interesting than the first?

I suspect that it's possible in principle, but a quick scan through the available options for administrators suggests that we'd have to do some hacking. And unfortunately you'll have to trust me when I say you do not want us to do some hacking! <br /><br />Cheers, Paul
