The easiest way to find really good tips is to look at the "Stickie" at the top of this board.

It's such a shame because there used to be 2 stickies but one of them got deleted

the keyword is one of the worst facilities on here, in my opinion!!!


It brings up sooooooooooooo many old threads, that people then post on not realising that the archives (or dungeons) have been opened up.


and I agree .... there was no need to be sarcastic, your header message made no sense at all!!

No need to be sarcastic, Ed. Your first post made absolutely no sense. When someone politely said they didn't understand you became very sarcastic. I see no need for that.

Actually I believe that the keyword is what's causing a lot of old threads to pop up. People enter a keyword and respond to the thread not realizing how old the thread is.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

well,,, i,ll do this slowwwwly look at the left (thats the opposite of right) side of this tips page and you will see a facility to enter a "keyword", ( thats sort of like a
a hint of what you may be interested in looking at).
type in your "keyword", wait a little while
and " PRESTO" you will enter a wonder world of subjects which appertain ( that
means "relate to") the afore-mentioned
keyword.
