Is There A Way to Jump Within a Thread?

[Mary M.]

If I'm in the Forum or Groups, is there a way to bypass replies that I've already read?  Say a thread has 11 replies when I initially read it and then come back and there are 36 replies.  Is there a way to go straight to the 12th reply?

I've looked around and I'm at a loss.

Thanks!

No Mary, there is not.  One nice thing about this different format is that this is just not comments but an actual discussion.

In your email though, you can .... well itemize responses.   I never do but most do and find following an ongoing topic much easier. I should, I want to, I dont

OK thanks Joanne.  

I'll have to look into itemizing responses via e:mail.

If a discussion has more than one page, it is possible to jump from page to page if you go to the bottom of the page, there is a box to insert the page you want to go too. I use this a lot when I am on site and been following a discussion. In the photography groups the discussions get quite lengthy.  I no longer get DK emails in my email because it was just too overwhelming.  Since I already get a ton of email the additional 50 plus from DK became too much.  Now I just directly go into DK once a day and do a catch up.

Thanks Linda, I did see the pages at the bottom.

It's a bummer because I like to pop in, read a little and then pop out and it'd be nice to catch up on a thread w/out re-reading what I've already read.  

I find myself stopping by interested in what's going on with X, Y and Z but the threads have gotten so long that I just leave.

I have set my e-mail to receive dk once a day.  The responses are grouped and extend from my comment or from what I was given the previous day.  I  click to follow any discussion I am interested in following.

Thanks Nancy! That sounds doable.

It really is what I love about this place most. It is NOT the standard.  I think other forums lack intimacy.  Yes, they serve a purpose and it works great in quick topic forums but it does not have that family feel.

I would hate to go to that format on DK
