The "Who's Online" function that madmatt is refering to used to show what thread you were viewing...

Handy for knowing if your problem was being looked at or not

Yea, I see how that would be of benefit. I know I've gotten entangled once or twice myself. Two of us responding at the same time. I queried Hengis myself about what I though was a broken link, but he said he had stopped it for something he was working.

Now I just check the Currently Active Users line below the message window.
before I Post the reply.

Later...

ya that is good as well waveard. But dont feel like you cannot post if someone else is posting. This is one good part of this site. Many people post to the same post. I know other sites do not like that but I find it rather nice this way you get more heads together.

You did not reply to the Rar thread? Did it work for you?

Merlin, the rar reply worked. It isn't free, but usable for 40 days, which is good enough for now. Sorry, I ran with your reply and haven't covered my tracks yet. I'll get to it now while I'm thinking of it.

I agree that the more heads the better change of a good reply. However, I refrain from providing the member/guest with too many replies at the same time. I can't, however, control the actions of others. Also, I try to refrain from butting in on a Staffer's thread, unless your reply looks like your our of your depth, but you guys do SEEM to know what you are talking about.

Re-enabled.

Thanks Hengis, it made it easier to see if someone was replying to a thread that I replied to or if someone is creating a new thread etc..

LOL - point taken.
