How can we see how many posts an OP(original poster ?) has ,or whether they are a new or old member?
Most of the comments on this thread seem to be by the experts .and refer to all kinds of thingsthat newbies just won't follow . I've been on for a while but only guessed just now what OP stood for .
please try and keep it simple . feel free to accuse me of hypocrisy as I waffle and don't always make sense late at night .
When new people do read through this type of recommendation it could be off-putting to see the system being criticised .

Just double check every time you look at a post to make sure that you are not replying to a very old thread.

Sylvia - just one thing, the membership number only shows on certain browsers. Since I changed to Chrome I can't see it anywhere.

Alisoun, OP for opening poster is a very widely used term on most internet forums. I'm not sure what posts on this particular thread are hard too follow?
