Percy/Larry,
There used to be a page number sequence at the bottom of the forums, allowing you to resurrect old posts. It doesn't appear to be there anymore, so, when something drops off the bottom of "the great debate", it's now gone forever. This is a fast moving forum, & no one posting for a couple of days causes the thread to dissapear.
Is there any way of checking old threads?
Mark

Note at the upper right corner - there is a selection box that enables you to access more than the (in my case the default is) 30 most recent active topics. Just select for a greater number of topics and hit "go".
Was just thinking about reviving an old topic myself.

Edited by minnemooseus, : Signature test, as discussed below. Clicked edit, did nothing other than this "reason for edit" stuff. Will now click "Submit Now".
Edited by minnemooseus, : OK, no change in signature. But I now notice that the "Show Signature" box is not checked. Will check - Predict signature will update.
Edited by minnemooseus, : OK, old signature still there. New signature added.
Edited by minnemooseus, : D'oh - I think that old signature was maybe manually created as part of the message content, and not by checking the "Show Signature" box.

Testing for signature font size etc. bug
Earlier in this topic, my signature is/was:
BS degree, geology, '83
Professor, geology, Whatsamatta U
Old Earth evolution - Yes
Godly creation - Maybe
I will now check "Show Signature" to post my current "signature", and see what might happen to that old signature.

Re: Testing for signature font size etc. bug
OK, no "signature" change, back in message 2.
I will now do an edit of message 2, not actually do any changes, and then click submit. I predict the "signature" will change to my current "signature".
