to the top - what's up
 
Does anyone out there have any idea why I can't get any of my posts to repost by typing TTT and submitting. I have tried it several times over the weekend and it isn't working. Helllllp.

ttt

replying to a post with ttt just brings that post to the top of the list.

If you want to one of your own posts, the best way is to click on your own name. Then the site will display all the posts you created or replied to on the left side of the screen

Your post does not "repost" by bringing it "ttt" - it just brings it back up to the top of the list (the one that is on the left hand side). Does that make sense?

I have been trying to bring an earlier post back up to the top of the list on the left side to get more people to respond to it. I was told to post a reply and just put ttt and post it.

It has been working but I haven't had any luck with it this weekend.

It doesn't show back up on the left side. Nothing happens.

I think I understand what you mean. When you click on your screen name, you expect to see the post that you ttt to appear at the top of the list on the left side - well for some reason, that doesn't always happen (that's been my experience).

Find the post you want to ttt, type ttt, then click "post my reply".

Thanks seetheworld, I will keep trying.
I guess this weekend is one of those times.

Same thing happens to me immediately after posting a reply - the message isn't visible on the top of the lefthand list.

If you try to refresh your browser (F5), it usually pulls up the current list.

There used to be a time when everytime I clicked on to my screen name, I would have a updated list. Now, I could have posted on a thread and my list shows only 6 responses when in fact, there are 35.

I've noticed a new glitch ever since the color change.

When I click on my name at the top of the page, the list does not display the latest threads. I then click on my name again (this time at the top of the thread frame) and only then will the complete list display.

For instance I click on "janis" at the top of the page and retrieve my threads - only the latest one is about 8 or 12 hours out of date. Then I click at the top of the "janis" threads and all the threads display.

This has been consistant for long enough that now I just do it by habit - click twice before I ever look at the list . . . . .

It is kind of strange, I will click on my name and it will say something has been updated 6 times and then when I go back to the regular list it says 4 times.

These updates are going through with no problem. It's like there is a no ttt gremlin out there intercepting the other ones!

Replying to a post doesn't bring it to the top, I have to click on "US" to refresh the board, only then it goes up.
