Hi Team,
an annoying thing is it takes some 8 clicks to get to Forums when logging in and nearly as many to get out again.

Also just encountered that when I Edit a post the BB compresses out all the line, paragraph and sentence structure spacing so people have to read a compressed text which for a long post can be very confusing and tiring.
I see some people giving up as it is too hard to follow--it tends to make one look like a lazy typist.

Cheers,
Eddie B.

Have just Edited this as an example to the same posted above so you can see what I am pointing out.

OK so this did not compress as was done to a post I did with attachments earlier today---see post #222978


Eddie,

Not sure why you need eight clicks to get to the Forum. I can open the website to see the Home Page, Click on Forum, then I log in extreme right on Yellow Band, then go to Discussions and I am there. In other words, I get here in three clicks.

Not sure on the compression problem. Maybe go back to previous page then come again to the Edit feature. I will have to go through the process to see what you are seeing.

Hi Dan,
my guess is that you do not logout--I stand to be corrected.
I can sort of fix tractors but these CONFUSER things drive me even insaner

Hi Jan,
yep, that is close to what I do and so how many clicks to get you to the forum including the first click to get to the home page?
I am missing something here as to Dan's short cut process method--not surprised given my track record of crashing computers.

May need to experiment further and end up crashing your computer system like I did to Cat Of Australia's--only after IT showed me a change to a procedure process button click sequence, and then changed it back with out telling me--They denied ever changing it but, I always got them to help me write down which buttons to press and showed them my note pad--it finished up a heated discussion as they still denied ever changing anything.
One day a month or so later a lady from IT, that I got helpful hints from over the years, came to me and said "Eddie I would like to thank you for helping me with a computer problem others up the front office were having--I had spoken to her about the other IT nerds changing the buttons to press for doing certain tasks--she caught the mongrels out too, of course they denied it again.
I digress as often happens when I reminisce.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Eddie B.
