Me, I use the “New Posts” option to refresh the ongoing discussions and never go to each individual category. Too time consuming and effort demanding. I’m a lazy sort who wants life to be easy squeezy!
The one thing about doing this is that all the old threads from the previous day don’t show after midnight so when I wake and check the action there’s very little to see.
I wonder if there are other options than the two mentioned above or if a consensus emerges that a better way is needed, then maybe we can make a mutual suggestion to our gCaptain overloards?
And speaking of our overlords…here’s one they can answer: How is “total thanks” calculated? It doesn’t appears to have a direct correlation to number of times thanked in one’s posts or is it just going over my head? What’s the basis behind the issuance to the little green bars? Are they added automatically or granted by the grace of the almighty?
I always use the New Post Button but I have never had a problem with them purging after 2400. If I do not visit for a couple of days usually I have a couple of pages to read through.
[QUOTE=water;79050]Same here. Works well for me, especially since I’ve (slowly) adapted to using my Droid phone app.
Now to figure out how to post photos…[/QUOTE]
Tried the smart phone route for gCaptain and don’t like it but then again I’m an old man and don’t even like my Android phone. I’m going back to my old timely flip phone as soon as I get back home…No web, no apps, no emails, no text, just to call people or for them to call me (I may answer but since I am a curmudgeon, I’m not likely to!)
Since I live as a hermit anyway, I just use my laptop to say online from inside of my cold, wet bat filled cave.

HA-HA! Old people are stupid!
Here is an observation. I can generally tell how old a person is by the amount of time it takes to go from “leave a message after the beep” to the actual beep. If my Dad calls and doesn’t answer its “leave a message after the beep”…(10 seconds of loud fumbling and grunts)… BEEP! What a dumb old guy he has turned into! You can’t hardly swing a dead cow without hitting an old dummy on this ship!
I always hit new posts, read through whats new, sometimes comment, then hit refresh. Most of the time I use the SeaPhone, but at night when I’m home I use my computer. I try to always keep up with what folks are complaining or rave about, so I check the site throughout the day. Makes the day go by easier.
Quite simply, I feel sure it is a complex derivative of advanced Calculus. Way over my head. I should know, I failed it a couple times in college. Where is John, Rob, and Mikey when you need them?
I think the “Thanks:” number is how many times you have thanked somebody else.
I think the green bar is increased as people “Add to this users reputation”.
I’d like to see a “return to top” and “return to forum” and “return to section” option at the bottom of each page.
There is a next/previous thread in that section option already.
[QUOTE=tugsailor;79133]That’s what all the cute young girls say to me.[/QUOTE]
How is it that the “most interesting man in the world” gets those babes hangin onto him with all his grey whiskers? Hell, I’m a greybeard and their not climbin aboard this old ship.
Then again, I am not really interested in the really young ones anymore except to oogle. Give me a smokin hot old lady anytime if you’re lookin to fight some fires!
[QUOTE=c.captain;79147] their not climbin aboard this old ship. [/QUOTE]
For that you would have to go back to Noble and be working in New Zealand, and knowing your love for Lucy you wouldn’t mind as long it was guaranteed that she would show up.

I’d suffer any indignity (maybe even serving a Captain Niedermeyer*) if I could have Xena climb my derrick just once! I swear, I’d never need a woman again after her.
EFF…she’s even HOT as a Samurai Warrior Princess…How does a woman manage to become so sexy? I mean just the power of it is awesome to behold…it’s simply electrifying! We’re not talking kW here, we’re talking mW…oh hell, gW even!
DAMN! Now look what you’ve gone and caused me to do…I didn’t know electricity was behind that happening? Ah the mysteries of science!
*provided I get to duel the little shit afterwards…only one will leave the field of honor alive but even if I died, I would still have had Xena! Death would be but a trifle after that!
These people kill me. Unless you wear home made all cotton hemp clothes or walk everywhere you go quit your bitching. She probably owns at least one car and if it’s a Prius who cares. They are sill made of plastic. I’m sure she lives in a nice house which is built and filled wIth things made of a petroleum by products. I wanna see the all natural solar panel made of palm fronds that can power their houses. Where are the giant windmill farms made out of logs that can support whole cities. When the hell is Al Gore gonna get around to inventing all this stuff.
[QUOTE=seadog!;79242]So it would be a case of “Fuck her, and her politics?”
Start training so you win that duel afterwards, the world would be a better place.
I’d miss you, not her one bit.[/QUOTE]
Trust me…when a man has such tremulous dreams as I have with Lucina, any woman’s politics is the LAST thing to enter his mind! In fact there is only ONE thing he thinks about!
Now regarding that duel…it is not her I duel to the death…besides Xena is indestructible anyway. No mortal man can touch her. She crushes us to quivering puddles of jello with her glorious thighs! GOD…but what a way to DIE!
