A really, no really, great jar opener.

I am in using the iPad. I have no idea why it worked this time.

Agate, I got frustrated just reading the directions you listed on how to view “most recent first.” I’ll try another day.

Yes, you really do have to brace yourself for dealing with all of those steps. Eat your Cheerios, take your vitamin D, get plenty of rest, and don't forget the chocolate--and you'll be up to it then.

Thank you.

Another way to see the latest activity is just look at the number of the last page and put it in place of the first page that comes up then hit enter. I actually figured that out all on my own. One of the first things because I knew I wasn't going to go through all the pages.

Brian, I was wondering why you didn't just ask young-in. She could tell you everything about computers.

[RandomThought]

I don't think the young use forums. They are all instagram and snapchat users.

Since I have built and repaired computers as a hobby since the late 90's I like to think that I can still sort of figure them out. For example yesterday I recovered a couple of encrypted files from my mother's corrupted laptop and restored most all of her logins and passwords on a clean install of Windows 10.

Even then, I bow to Agate's getting around this new place so handily !

Now that really is impressive, but you are right about Agate. Of course Howie and I decided long ago that Agate knows everything and can do everything.

[RandomThought]

Yeah, that Agate is really something all right. It seems like just yesterday we were all figuring out how automatic faucets work and how we'd ever wash our hands again and now I'm following Agate's advice on how to set my display options...they say a rising tide lifts all boats....

[agate]

I can't claim to have a hobby of building and repairing computers. I'd like to pass my know-it-all crown on to Brian at this point.

Couldn't find a crown among the emoticons, and so maybe a star will do:

Virginia, your short cut works. Thank you.

Agate, please find Howie.

I'm in communication with Howie--he's working on figuring things out as I understand it.

What of Sunshine??? I haven't seen her here yet.

I'm already wearing my "knows some stuff about computers but not necessarily about forums" crown, Agate. Besides if I ever wore such a crown as you suggest I'd be rapidly exposed as the self-taught incompetent that I am !

So as it stands now the forum crown sits prettily on your head.

[agate]

It might be noted that I'm referring people on to the admins here because they are the people who know what they're doing. And they are here and will respond. I'll do what I can to answer questions if I know the answer. I have found that it pays not to give up--to keep on clicking on things until you find what you're looking for.

Who knew, for instance, that you can insert a horizontal line if you want to?

That may have been on the old board but I never noticed it.

[RandomThought]

I have been tempted...

To "flag" the original poster on this thread as a probable spammer. Imagine attempting to sell jar openers on a support forum !For goodness' sakes!

[agate]

It's mind-boggling!

[stillstANNding]

Show offs.
