How do I see everything that's new?

When I get on A2K I have it set to "All Topics" and "New Posts" (ATNP) for the week. However, I noticed when I click on an individual forum like "Relationships" new posts are evident that do not show up on my ATNP page . Example: The Joe Nation Saga aka: A Good Cry On The Train, I am following this like I would The Sopranos, I have posted to this thread and it shows up in "My Posts", but it never shows up when I hit ATNP, even if someone has just posted something. Same for topics in Pets and Gardens, Food and Health. All the political threads seem to show up. Am I explaining this right? Is it me or a bug in the new program? I'm not into the tagging thing, is that the problem?

@Green Witch,
I think you need to set to All Topics, All Time, New Posts.
Because Joe Nations' topic was created longer than a week ago.

I can no longer find the trivia and word games threads without individually going through the search box. Nor the British thread. I'm goosed.

I can no longer follow where I've been except for a few items.

Why when I go to My Posts do I not get a list of all my posts in reverse order from the most recent?

What am I doing wrong? Will this post show up on My Posts so that I can see if anybody has any ideas or will it vanish into "the womb of uncreated night" ?

@Rockhead,
That was a technical error.

I was meaning to say that I understood the Twilight Zone up to a point. It was entertainment wasn't it?

I tried Izz's first idea but it didn't work so I'll have another go in case any of her instructions were ambiguous or difficult to decode.

If we do all vanish when they switch the LHC on I don't think I'll mind as much as I would have done two weeks ago.

What does "E you" mean? I'm computer illiterate. I don't know what tagging means yet. Or default mode.

Go to your profile and click on the "edit preferences" tab on the left. Set the Minimum Topic Votes and Minimum Post Votes both to "No Minimum" and you'll see everything except those topics/posts you yourself have voted down.

You can get to your profile by clicking on your own name at the top of any page or the top of one of your own posts.

@spendius,
Oh -- and make sure your topic age is set to "All Time" at the top of the topic index (just click on it) and the sort by on the upper left set is set to New Posts.

Good grief. Foxy and I and at least one other poster went through this with Spendy yesterday. You might want to take a look at Robert G's comments on the subject.

@JPB,
Thank you JP. Simple explanations are "class".

I don't know if you saw that Russian soldier who was driving a military truck in Georgia. A journalist stuck a microphone in his cab and asked him where he was going and he said "I just drive--drive and drive." He waved his hand towards the road ahead. I was socialised to be like that. The officers know where they are and where they are going. Some of them I mean.

That's me. I just type--type and type. I have nurses and guides for everything else and they all took one look at this and said "shove it." It's the same in the pub. We just drink and talk--drink and talk and drink and talk. Our landlord and his fragrant staff do the rest.

I don't like change much. It is something which is done to us by those who do.

We might be stupid but we are the salt of the earth.

I have a theory that the perfect penis length is the average on the grounds that evolution had decided the issue and anything outside the usual range is a mutation and thus imperfect by scientific definition.

When I was "just hatched" in the military we were lined up and the NCO shouted ( he couldn't talk normally), "One step forward anybody who can play a musical instrument." Half a dozen proudly stepped forward ( I had been warned by an uncle) and he marched them off to the cookhouse to peel the potatoes for 2,000 men's (boys really) dinner. After that first day he found his peelers by other methods.

Thanks again JP.
Izzie
