never lets me get legionarees

lol, i just realized i typed 'FAG' instead of 'FAQ' on accident. i edited it.


anyway, to all those telling people to press search, it never works. like said above,typing 'marian', 'roman', or 'reforms' into search box will turn up with every thread with any of those words in it. so, that argument is already invalid.

add to that the fact that he has no idea what was happening or what the marian reforms are, he probably wouldnt know what to type in.

The search they are referring to isn't the forum search feature its the text search feature located on typically the Edit menu of your browser. Here is the sequence that you should use to find "frequently asked questions".

1) go to the faq thread that is stickied at the top of the eb forum.
2) select search from the edit menu on your browser
3) type in the relevant word you are looking for like "marian" or "reform"
4) click search
5) press F3 to continue to the next instance of that word
6) repeat number 5 as many times as you like.

first:

i dont have that feature. i dont use retarded internet explorer.

second: how would he know it is marian reforms or anythin like that? he wouldnt have known to type that.

[satalexton]

he meant the forum search function, there's a link with the latin letters S-E-A-R-C-H. It spells the english word 'search'.
Click that, and a seach tab would appear.

As for the motor functions of controlling the hand and fingers, I'm no neurologist. thus i can be of no help.

Ctrl-F is common to all web browsers. FAQs are meant to be read first, if you have a problem.

You're grasping at straws. Let it go.

You're grasping at straws. Let it go.

Agreed. I was browsing though and happened to read this thread, thinking someone was in need of help.

Both parties had/have good intentions. Both wanted to help in their own individual way. As long as this is established, any disagreements can be let go. Let's not turn the forums into a battleground and keep it a friendly community.

Perhaps you should include a link in your sig to the faq. I notice that you have links for the 1.2 fixes and frequent issues so 1 more link shouldn't be that bad.

This is perhaps a good idea to consider Bovi. Instead of pointing to the FAQ, place it in your sig. But again, just a thought.

I would like to link to a bunch of useful pages, however there is a limit to the number of characters allowed in the sig, and links are rather long even if they don't display as such. I've had to choose hard among them to be able to fit what I already have into it and still have room for Hawking's great quote.

[Prussian to the Iron]

yeah, i can testify to that. rather annoying really.

perhaps if you took out the 'frequent issues' youd have enough space?

I don't use IE either, I use firefox and the search feature is under edit/find


second: then he should probably read the faq so that in the future he will know what to search for.

[Prussian to the Iron]

whatever. this is over, we've worn this down so much i'm not sure it is still even in one piece. i'm unsubscribing now.

...you subscribed to ... this thread?

OK, I think that it may be time for a quick tutorial here.
Using the .org forum's search function:

1.In the top bar, in black Latin letters, you will find several entries, ie. User CP, Favorites, (skipping a few items), Search. This search link will give you a drop down box in which you can type your search criteria. This particular link is useful if you wish to search the entire .org fora for something.

scroll down a bit

2.Under the small box with the "posting rules" link at the top, you will find black letters (again, the Latin alphabet in used) that read "Sub-forums". On the right side of that particular bar, you will see "Search this forum" written there, this provides a drop-down box that works just like the one that was previously described. This particular "search" is useful for searching the main and sub-fora that you are currently viewing, for information that is likely to be found in the forum you are viewing, but may possibly be hidden in a sub-forum. Especially useful when you are unfamiliar with the organizational structure of a particular group of fora.

scroll down a bit further

3. Under the box reading NEW TOPIC (bright yellow capital letters), you will find another bar populated with black letters. The entries in this bar read (from left to right) Threads in Forum, Forum tools, and Search this forum (again). This is used just like the last 2 entries that were explained. Useful for finding information specific to the exact forum you are viewing. There is also a search function available in specific threads, located in the same spot on the page as this entry. I won't explain how to use the thread search, because it works exactly the same way as the previous entries, and I prefer to think that everyone here is intelligent enough to understand these simple instructions.

This forum-specific search function is a lot more focused than the one on your browser, and doesn't involve the morass of the wider internet.
