A question about threads

Jeffrey · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2008, 12:13 AM

What is the difference between a thread and a thread starter?

You just started this thread? I am joining the thread? Maybe, I am not real sure myself, Beale.

Thread Starter is the person that started it and the Thread is all the posts that follow...........I think

I guess I've always thought of Thread Starter..as the Topic of the thread??? Something like that

Let's see if I can better explain what I mean.

I can't tell exactly what I'm making happen when I click on either of the choices between thread / thread starter. Different lists of threads appear depending on which one I choose.

What's the relationship between the lists and what I'm clicking?

(Let me apologize now if I'm overlooking something completly obvious. Sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake...)

Hi Jeff,
What exactly are you clicking?

Hey Gregory,
When you pick a forum to look at and click on it and the forum you chose to view is displayed, thread / thread starter is located right underneath "Announcement:" and above the first thread in the thread list. If I'm not mistaken, thread / thread starter appears underneath "Announcement:" regardless which forum you're in. They are underlined and seperated by the "/", as I've done here. You can click on either thread or thread starter, and both yield different results.

Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
clicking on the Thread link should sort the forum threads alphabetically.
Clicking on Thread Starter Link sorts the thread starters (user who posted the thread) alphabetically. I haven't clicked on them till now and I think thats their function.
