Goodly morning all...

I have been thinking about this for awhile and I was wondering about something.

When we post the above header "Topics already posted" when starting a new topic it is easy to click on the empty space and see all the topices each of us individually has posted. Not the replies we have made to other members posts but our own topics we have created in all the different forums.

What I would like to know is:

(1) If I click on that empty space and then pick out a topic
   why can't I retreive it to read it?

(2) If I click on that empty space and then pick out a topic
   and hit the "Delete" button will that delete that topic?

(3) Is there any location, button or any way means or
   whatever to see all the "Topics" I have started to
   read them instantly?

Now I have no intention of deleting any of my topics but the old grey matter does not work or remember like it used to and there are times I wonder if I have already posted this topic. Grin

Oh poop I wonder if I have already asked this before...see what I mean... Grin

Dear Moderators I posted these questions here because I can't remember where else I was suppose to ask them. You really do not want me to go and stand in the corner of the barn again, do you? Roll Eyes

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Goodly evening all... Wink

Well I kind of need the barn as it is like a Private Club House when we have little fly-in's with friends.

What I would like is an answer to my three questions before I start a new topic somewhere, click on the white space and start deleting to see if that is what is actually does. Erases all the posts.
I am kind of a trial and error type person who likes to push buttons to see what they do. Cheesy

Where's this feature of which you speak Doug? I've been a member of this forum for longer than I care to remember & don't recall seeing it.

You can check on the last 25 posts you've made from your profile. Click on your messages at the top of the forum & select Posts. That's the only way I know of doing it.

I think you are refering to this :

1. "If I click on that empty space and then pick out a topic why can't I retreive it to read it?"

It's not a link to anything, just an 'easier' way to fill in the blank with words you've used before.
What it is, is the auto fill-in feature of your web browser, it remembers things you've typed in the past, to try to save you time by not having to type it again.
Usually this is quite helpful for searching for sites, or passwords, but not for this purpose.

2."If I click on that empty space and then pick out a topic and hit the "Delete" button will that delete that topic?"

Deleting them, will not delete your post, or affect anything else here at the forum. The information you see in that box, is contained on your end of the connection in your temporary internet files.

3. "Is there any location, button or any way means or whatever to see all the "Topics" I have started to read them instantly?"

Only the way that Doug mentioned, to view your 25 most recent posts.

Hope this answers your questions

Ah, that explains it. Thanks Shane. Disabling that Autofill feature is one of the first things I did after installing the Google Toolbar.

PS. I've also disabled all those features from Firefox/Tools/Options/Privacy.
