Confused (It Doesn't Take Much!)

10/06/2009 9:48 PM

Is there a user's guide to this site? I'm still confused trying to navigate it.

See below, 10-8-09, #5 I think. Babybear made a good and useful reply, some of which I'll be trying shortly.

If you have something additional, I would appreciate it. Even if it's aiming me to information that is on the site that I may not have found.

Hi lynlynch,

You are right of course!

Hi Lehman57,

Quite a lot of what the site is about and the different sections for instance are listed on the right side of the screen.

If you want to ask a question like you have, just follow the on screen advice from the dialogue window.

Can you tell me what you are having problems with please?

I know I do and can get frustrated with the search Utilities on the site, but that is probably my own fault. You did not say specifically what you have trouble with.

take care

PS. You can alway write to Admin and ask anything at all you know?

When I asked, it was almost everything! I guess the confusion has settled down a bit. When I click on a new comment, it goes to it OK; but going back to check the other comments has not been smooth. I guess their order and placement hasn't sunk in yet. How to return to the "new comments" screen seems to be my trouble spot; probably stemming from the same confusion is wondering whether I saw them all. My dial-up Internet connection doesn't help any!

Is it GlobalSpec or CR4 that you're having problems with?

Hi Lehman57,

There is the stuff lynlych mentioned which will help, as those bits list the details of what is where and how 2's.

And I am glad if what I posted can help in some way.

I think navigating and finding whatever post you are looking for easier if you change "Indented / nested by replies", > to "Flat cronological".

Take care.

There is Ask question which you just did, Start a discussion, Search forum or CR4, CR4 sections are topics that are grouped by subject, Site Indices with CR4 FAQ and profile click your name and you can from there check mail and look at all the groups you are subscribed to. There is more but this will get you started. I had the same problem when I joined but after a while you get the hang of it.
