And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have never been able to figure that out, which is why I don't last in phpBB forums regardless of the people or topics involved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Samsung compact digital camera packs largest OLED viewscreen, analog gauges

Samsung announced a point-and-shoot digital camera this morning that's packed with impressive features. The TL320 offers a 3-inch OLED viewscreen, the largest OLED screen on any digital camera, and check out those cool-looking retro-analog gauges up top, giving you the most important data at a glance: battery life and memory remaining. We like.

I am such a geek - I love the analog gauges!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The gauges are cool.

What's so great about OLED?

ita,

I have a response to this....

Click "My control panel" (it is in a bar toward the middle top after log in)

Then, look at the left hand side, you should see "View Topics" - click that and you will see each thread you subscribe to.

Bookmark this page and you can return to it from here on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But that doesn't tell me about new messages, unless I'm missing something. If I don't keep track of the time of the last message I read, I won't know if anyone's posted since I last read.

Was someone asking about getting text out of PDFs recently? Anyway, this is cool.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, my Outlook has started doing something that's really silly and minor and that I can tell already is going to drive me batshit. I use the preview window, and suddenly this afternoon it's stopped marking emails viewed in the window as read. I checked the Options tab and it looks like it should be marking them properly - and it did, up until today. Anyone got any other ideas?

I'd say close Outlook (and make sure it's not running in the system tray), then try running the Inbox Repair Tool [link] .

ita, if you subscribe to the thread, it does keep track of new messages.

I'm subscribed to two topics. When I go into controls/my topics it shows my current subscriptions and I can see when I subscribed, how many replies and views there are, and when the last post was. Short of signing up for email notifications, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
