Keeping Track of Messages

I found I was looking at the same old messages again and again then I had an idea. I highlighted the message board and chose print selection in my printer options. (If you don't have this option you can copy and paste the list into Word). Now when I come back to the site I can check against my printed copy to see which messages I have read. Hope this makes sense. Lynne Sale

Hi Lynne I just make a note of the time I last read the messages, and then only read those since that time. PS Thank you for your advice re. the adoption.

Hi Suzanne, I do that time thing on the Trying to find Board, but what about the tips and guest book. Just because a tip or enquiry has been pushed back to page 4 of umpteen hundred doesn't make it any less relevant. I like to read the questions and answer them where I can. But I also enjoy and learn from the tips that other people offer. Maybe someone has just posted an answer to my major block on page 57. It is not likely that I will ever find out with the present format. Maybe GC should have a guillotine and delete after a topic has been dormant for so long?. Jim
