    Having trouble reading the Active Topics?

    If so, it may be because you need to understand how Active Topics works.

    When you first come to the Main Forums Page and click on Active Topics, the website looks to the last time you visited to determine what topics have posted new since the last time you were here.

    But once you click on the Active Topics link, do not lose contact with it. You can then scroll down the list and click on any topic of interest, read it, post a comment to it, and so on. But once you are finished with the topic, you need to BACK UP in the same browser to the original page of Active Topics.

    Tip:
    When you load your Active Topics Page, do not directly click on a topic of interest. Instead, place your mouse over the topic of interest and RIGHT-CLICK with your mouse, and then choose OPEN IN NEW WINDOW. This will allow you to open a second browser to read the topic of interest, and will preserve your original list of Active Topics in the first browser.

    Tip 2:

    Here are some links of other member's Active Topics that may work for you today:
    Here's the first one to click on:

    Hi Julia,

    I can't open those above two links and the vBulletin Message says:
    "Invalid search specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster" What should I do? Should I notify the webmaster?
    Please let me know and thanks for the tip!
