Long Winded

freebird · 04-01-2006, 01:57 PM

ok, this is just a thought. I don't know if others would agree or not but i know i like answering replies to my posts. Some of us tend to be long winded and when you post a reply you can't refer back to what the other person has said. Now for those of you with good memories this probably isn't a concern. I however have a bad memory and have tried going back to remember what has been said exactly and then have to start my post over. Would it be possible to refer back to the reply without losing what you have already written?

The only way I know of doing that right now is to have a 2nd window open.

right. no biggie. my computer kicks me out whenever i try that.so i'll just have to try to remember better.

right. but my computer kicks me out of here whenever i try to open 2 windows. It's ok. good practice for my mind to try to remember better anyway

I will keep my eyes open for a different solution.

Okay freebird, I will take the hint and try to be less longwinded...hehehe...I guess that as a last resort you could print out a copy? or maybe take a pic of the screen and paste it in an email to yourself and have the email open at the same time? I know that you said your computer boots you if you try to have more than one thing open at a time, but is it the same with emails? Sorry I can't help more. I am pretty computer dumb.

What I have found, is that when replying, change from the "Quick Reply" to "Advanced Reply", down at the bottom of the screen is the last few posts.
