Agent clips the sig line on a reply copy; I did see the full sig line of Justin and his various URL's on the actual message. Whatever message this is a reply to is not displayed. The above quote makes zero sense taken out of context of the coversation it is part of. To see the message this is a reply to requires me to mark the "read" messages as "unread". I then end up with 2709 messages to plow through looking for this message thread again. After I find it, I have no way of knowing what messages I have already read and which I have not yet read. So, I have to work back throgh 2708 messages, or mark them all as "read" and skip any threads I had not finished reading yet. Does this make it any easier for Sue to understand why we are not thrilled to share space with DC? It has nothing to do with the people, only with how the messages display. Oh, and Justin, I had some really good lentil soup in Maryland yesterday. But,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I don't know the soup you keep asking us to sample. Do you have a recipe? ``````````````````````` Stephen (What's a temporary?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REPLY Steve I see this as the thread you just entered is nested under the original which reads, Nice work Justin.

The oldest thread is displayed at the top and the newest at the bottom of the screen. I prefer to have the thread expanded immediately upon downloading of the messages. I, also, have the software set to hide all read messages. So,,,,,,,,,,,, I only see what I have not yet read. Exactly what you mean by "un-nested" ,,,,,,,,,,, I am not certain. As a matter of fact, I prefer it if people top-post, as I only will have to scroll down if I need information on what was said previously. Bottom posting to long message threads which have not been snipped, require too much time to get to the new message. Ask you Admin-Justin fellow to try logging in with a newsgroup server so that he can see what we are complaining about. Perhaps he can stop sipping his soup long enough to figure out why we don't like the DC gateway. ``````````````````````` Stephen (What's a temporary?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I agree about top posting. It saves my left mouse button! Nested means what you are referring to as "under the original." I missed that you are hiding the original threads although you did tell us that before. I will try to reproduce what you mentioned and I wil ltry to get MS-Outhouse up and running to see how Carabelli sees threads. In the end, some suggestions will be highly appreciated. Joel >>REPLY >> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >Stephen (What's a temporary?) >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok. I installed free agent by forte. I set it up to display all posts read or unread, display it. I set it too sort the messages by thread newest first. And I set it to expand all messages With this setup, I started reading some older posts. I noticed peopl from DC, werent quoting any prior message to reply to. So they ar basically replying to a thread with a new post without any quotes o any information from the message they are replying too The reason why this is, because its easy to follow on the site. Th site has a "quote button" If you want to reply to a post, that butto should be used so it wont confuse people. When I created this pos right now, I hit the quote button. That creates all the older messag info at the bottom so you guys have an idea of what message I a replying to. Another problem I noticed with free agent is that if you sorte everything by newest thread first, it works, but the thread itself i organized by oldest to newest, and it looks like it cannot be changed in this view. But if you have read all the messages, and your view i set to "not show read messages and only show unread messages", the this shouldn't be a problem because you wont see the old message anyways So I think the biggest problem is users posting to SMD, without hittin the quote button Organizing it by newest messages first, and not by newest thread first seems to be the only way to sort the list by new messages first, even i you havent read them Of course, then you loose organization by not having it sorted b thread first I would like to see sorting by the thread with the newest message first, and the messages inside the thread be organized by newest t oldest, even if you have it set to display all messages, unread an read. Maybe I missed that One thing is for sure, agent has a lot of options. I still like x-news Joel M. Eichen Wrote: > I agree about top posting.

SignatureAdministrator Now set Agent to hide all read messages, and you will see that the postings from DC make zero sense the second time you visit the NG. (Regardless of how you set up Agent to disply the thread--oldes or newst first). Once the rest of the thread is not there,,,,,,,,,, the DC postings look like someone talking to themselves in abusy hallway. >Ok. I installed free agent by forte.

I set agent to display only new messages, and hide all read messages. I then marked everything in SMD as read so that agents view looks completly empty. I will watch the threads that people from dc post too and see what happens. The first thread I will get to look at is this one right here. I am interested to know, and the soup has gone dry.
