Where Have All The Posts Gone?

How can there be ONLY two posts here? I posted a question a little ways back, and I wanted to check for replies. What gives?

ATMB has a default time spread of 2 days. Any thread whose last post is older than it slides off the front page. Your post is almost 3 weeks ago.

Near the bottom of each Forum’s front page are three buttons allowing one to choose how to look at the Forum.
The first is “Sorted by” with a drop-down box for which field will be sorted.
The second is “Sort order” allowing one to sort in ascending or descending sequence.
The third is “From The” that allows one to change the date when one wishes the threads to be selected, (“Last Day,” Last two days", Last Week," etc.) select how far back you would like threads to be selected from that list.

Where have all the flowers gone?

I thought I saw some girls picking them

While I recognize that not everyone is able to (or cares to) check the SDMB on a regular basis, if you had shown me the question at the top of this thread, and asked me to guess which member had posted it, Jinx would have been my first guess. He does have a pattern of starting a thread by asking a question, and then not returning to it for days or weeks.

Nor acknowledging people who took time to help.

I don’t understand the question.

First, where is “here”? Did you post a question in one of the forums, and there were only two posts in response? A link would be nice.

Second, define “a little ways back.” It is easy for you to check on when you made a post, so there is no need to be vague. Say “a day ago” or “a week ago” or whatever is accurate at the moment you are writing.

That’s common with message boards in general, though. I note that davidmich has been cited as unusual for always coming back and thanking everyone. I find it’s easier not to expect a response.

Not checking in at all, however, is more unusual. It makes me wonder if Jinx doesn’t know about the subscription system. If I ask a question, I nearly always subscribe to at least a daily digest.

At least we can hope the girls will do something sensible. Maybe go to college or something so they have have careers just in case something happens to the boys. But nothing can happen to them, right?

(College) Where will they ever learn.

CMC fnord!

There’s a time and a place for everything, and it’s called college.

Where have all the cowboys gone?

But the question is, will Jinx ever see these explanations?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind …

Nah, he’s too busy chasing Pixie and Dixie, because he hates those meeses, to pieces! :smiley:

The Wind Cries Mary.

But, They Call the Wind Maria, don’t they?

So take a post Maria, address it to the board
Say I won’t be reading threads, gonna start a new life
So take a post Maria, address it to the board
Send a copy to Giraffe’s board, gotta start a new life

CMC fnord!

Will he understand them? Will he make any sort of use out of the information? Will he learn to find easy things on his own? You’d think that something would rub off after nearly two decades of posting questions here.
