How do I start a thread?
Is that the best recurring ATA question, or what?

1. Should this go to the dept. of redundancy dept.?
I wonder at what point they do the forehead smack, Dumbya-style?

2. Speaking of ATA questions . . .
Dookus, you've been here a long time, so maybe you can answer this without me having to go down to ATA and give the appearance of being both stupid and hungry for Swedish fish.

I've looked all over DU for a search function. Does a search function exist here? If so, would you give me directions to it?

5. Duh. I see it now.
Thank you, and apologies for the stupid question.

4. Look up at the top of the page in any forum.
Search ought to be up there somewhere in the middle.

7. I'm feelin' silly right about now.
I once asked that. Duh... :P

Now that I have admitted to my past stupidity, maybe I can take it a step further. You know how people have pictures at the end of their posts and then on a separate line a quote? I can't get my sig to do that no matter what kind of ancient html code I use.

It keeps ending up looking like this...

8. Try using...
<br> (but with square brackets)

Can't say for sure it'll work, but it's worth a shot.

11. Thanks. I will try that.
I would stand on my head if I thought that would work too. I know there is a way and when I find it, it's going to be one of those forehead smacking moments.

9. LOL...
can I ask why you asked that? I've always been curious. How does one not know how to start a thread, yet start one in ATA?

10. It is an easy answer.
If you have your start page as the "latest posts" (that would be the latest link)page, it doesn't offer that option. I always go there instead of LBN or some of the others. Back then, I didn't have a clue and could not find the "post" link to save me. I was looking in the wrong place. :crazy:
