Hello from San Antonio

Texas, that is (we don't ALL say "Howdy")...

I'm a fairly serious longtime birder from Central Texas.

The optics reviews were why I stumbled across this site, much good info here.

John

Thanks for the welcome folks

I do have a question though, I posted on a "Fujinon CD 7 x42" thread a bit ago which I thought was in "Others" on the binocular forum.

I can find it by searching my name but cannot find it under a subforum. Neither does the thread itself tell me where it is other than....

Home > Forums > Photography, Digiscoping, Art & Equipment > Binoculars > Fujinon 7x 42 CD

Anyone know where it is?

(Sorry if I'm overlooking something obvious)

John

Okay, one thing you will find out eventually, is that once you post in a thread, that thread will not appear when you click on "new posts" because the thread assumes you have already seen it

Now, if you scroll down on the main forum page to "binoculars" in that category there is a sub-forum (in smaller print). If you click on "other" in that sub-forum, it will bring you to the most recent/active threads and wallah! There your post is on the second page of that thread

Does all this make sense?

Question

Well KC, I'm glad SOMEBODY can see it, all I get on the "Others" board from today are the following topics:

Cabela's Euro
mljohn Today 02:21

Fujinon 10x42 CD (this thread with 7 replies, none of them mine)
Tero Today 01:21

and then it goes on to...

Vortex Fury and Stokes Broadwing
Yesterday 23:45
by raptorbfl

and on down the list...

Recommend Monocular?
Friday 19th October 2007 08:26
by 2520years

etc...etc...

Odd, I can see this thread and one I posted on the "Texas" page just fine.

The only thing I can think of is that I found the "Fujininon CD 7x42 thread via "google", maybe by accessing it that way I messed up how the software sends it to my IP address (???).

It does make me worry what other topics I might not be able to see.

John

Edited to add: Wierd, I just posted again on that 7 x 42 Fujinon thread and it appears on the "Forums" list page as the last post in the "Binoculars" forum. Durned if I can find it once I open the "Binoculars" forum though, even under "Others".
