Newbies ask questions

Website Questions:
~I have subscribed to numerous TS threads, is there a way to bookmark last read post? I keep losing my place. The "first unread" link takes me to the latest post.
~The website logs me out like every 15-30 minutes, even when I am actively reading and accessing new pages, is this common?
~ Any user tips are welcome.
TIA

Coastal did a good job explaining how to stay logged in. As far as losing your place, I know how frustrating that is. I tried clicking on the "read first unread post" and didn't think it was very accurate. So I figured out another way to find where I left off. It's kind of hard to explain but I'll try.

I always start from and leave off from the main page named "Dr. Teresa Sievers" where all the threads are listed. From the last time I was reading I will look and see apx what time was the very last post I read. Then I refresh the page. Now all the threads that have unread posts in them are bolded.

Starting from the lowest thread on the page that is bolded, I click on it. I sort my threads by most recent first, seems to be easier for me. The lower the thread, the fewer unread posts it has on it. From the top of the page, I press the "end of page" key and go to the bottom, look at the time on the post and recalling what time I left off, I know if I need to scroll up to read the posts or go to another page farther back. I also try to leave a "thank you" on one of the last posts I read on any thread as a marker.

Once finished with a thread, go back to the main page and read the next lowest one from the bottom. This way, the unread threads will stay bolded.

If you have followed me so far, you're doing great. I don't want to make a confusing process any worse than it already is, so if you have questions please ask. This is what I have worked out by trial and error. There may be others who have a better method. I don't know. If they do though, I'd love to hear what it is!
 
Am I the only one who has a little thumb tack by all the threads? I click that on the main Teresa Sievers page and it takes me to the first post I haven't read yet.

Thanks, Maxine2U!
 
How do you grab a particular post and use it to answer a post from a different thread. Especially if it is a no discussion thread?

I hit "Reply With Quote" on the post I want to reply to. I then highlight the entire post including the Quote brackets. Copy this.

Then go to the thread you wish to post on, open a new reply box and paste the copy in it.
 
Its been so long since I've had to sign in, there must be a "keep me signed in" check box somewhere!
BRB - I'll find it for you.

OKay. At the top right of this page, above the Websleuths logo, "Log Out". To sign in again, enter your username/password, and check the tiny little "keep me logged in" box there. You'll never (? )have to sign in again!

If you first click on the first page of the thread you want to resume reading, and then click "read first unread post", you should end up at least on the same page you read last, if not actually the "next" post posted since you left the thread (or, the one posted first, after you last read). If you start from the "Latest Posts" link at the top left of the page, you'll go to the latest post, and will have go backwards to find your place.

(ROFL - I wrote ^ that several times for clarity - not so you'd notice, but I did try!) Hopefully, someone else will help us here.

Welcome!

If you have access to TapTalk app, it will take you to the last entry in the threads you've already read. Just my 2 cents but worth a try. Love the app myself!

Sometimes the tack shows up for me, sometimes not :( But, there's also the same icon of black thumbtack at the top of the threads :) I also circled the Rate This Thread to remind us - I keep forgetting that's there!

This usually works for me, but sometimes it doesn't. (Often because I read at bedtime & tend to fall asleep before fully caught up [emoji42]) When I'm really trying to catch up & have a lot to read, I take a screenshot pic on my phone (always how I access WS). Then I know where to pick back up again.

Oh me gee. This made me laugh. I can't say how many times I have fallen asleep reading on these threads. Not cause they are boring...cause I am so sleepy.

Welcome!

Thank you, coastal, for keeping me logged-in! My site has a "remember me?" box that you check, before you enter. What a relief! Thanks!
 
I think I have all of the acronyms down except one: BBM. So many posts begin with BBM and for the life of me (no pun) I cannot figure it out.
Help please? [emoji33]

Is there a forum/thread discussing the multiple holistic doctors who have gone missing/murdered/died? There's too many for it to be a coincidence right?

Nope. That was pretty much dismissed way back in the beginning. And that's all we need is another thread. Not. Lol
I brought up all the dead holistic Dr's and no one thought they were related soooo.
 
AHHH. True, it is getting very complicated with all of the threads. I don't understand why anyone would think they're NOT related! It's so weird isn't it? This many doctors dying?
