Thanks Larry
I resisted because I didn't see nor understand what was going on.  Then when I tried to get an issue resolved they (admin)  just dismissed it and me.
Anyway,  I'll hang around for a while and see if I can figure the site out.

I do have a stupid ????
How do I get to the end of a forum thread  -  all I can find is a block with show next 20 replies 
easy buddy just click on (follow replies) near the top. that way when you go back it takes you where you left off.

I've clicked next 20 replies til I'm blue in the face.   All I want to do is get to the end
if you want to go to the last page on a long forum click on follow replies then get out, and when you go back it will take you to the last page without having to scroll through 1000 posts. once you get the hang of things this site is pretty easy to navigate.
