Staying on topic
On the warship 1 and aowwts old board we had the option of remaining on topic within threads. Do we have that function on this board?
If we do were is it, I cant find it.
On topic?
I´m not sure if I fully understand what you mean by "remaining on topic".....?
I think he talks about the nesting of threads as in Usenet. replying to an earlier post etc.
useful in usenet but a royal pain on a webboard, if ike myself you have a slow ubreliable internet connection and have to pay for your access by the minute.
cheers

With some ezBoards, notably David Newton's boards for Politics and History, one can actually choose whether to see boards as threads or this way. I rather like threads, as it makes it rather easier to see who is responding to who (assuming people actually bother to check where in the thread they are before they post).
Pengolodh is on the right track
What I meant by staying on topic is that some times you want to reply to an individual post within a thread.
For example by using the remain on topic button that is available in other boards, I would have been able to squeeze this post between HoOmAn and LordArpad,s posts that are found above.
In other wards instead of this post being the sixth down on this thread I could have made it the third one down by using that function
The reason that I brought this subject up is that I tried to reply to Red Admiral’s following comment "I bet Rhodes is a needle in your side" which was posted in the new player thread
Unfortunately instead of my reply on Rhodes being below the Red Admirals, you will find it amongst posts discussing Germany’s post war navy and infrastructure, definitely off topic!
I hope I cleared what I meant about Staying on topic
LordArpad I sent an email to you, I just hope I correctly deciphered your email above. If not the poor individual who has received it will now be thinking that they have been visited by the twilight zone or are now hurriedly cleaning their spear bedroom in anticipation of royal guests!

Normally one should be able to choose the style in which a forum is presented using the profile button and scolling down for "Styles". Normally. For whatever reason it is not yet possible to choose from different styles. Even as a moderator. I asked Testpilot (the guy hosting us) about it and maybe we will be able to change it in the near future. Hopefully but until then we have to live with what we have so far. Sorry.
That’s ok
Its just that I thought I was looking in the wrong place for that function or possibly doing something wrong..
Anyway, thanks HoOmAn for answering my question
