In reply to Re: where'd psychology board go?, posted by muffled on September 26, 2007, at 3:43:40
This is what it means:
If a board comes up blank, there is a workaround way to 'force' it to come up. You go to any post on any other board, like Dinah did in this case....she used your post here on Admin:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/psycho/20070916/msgs/785166.html (it's why she called it: "redirect for admin purposes...she was using it to get the board to open)
1. She opened your original post in this thread.
2. Then, she replied to it but picked Psycho-Babble Psychology in the drop-down menu (the first thing under 'Enter your post') *instead* of replying to it on Admin. (that's the only way posters - all posters, not just deputies - can "redirect" a post - not the way we as deputies can move posts/threads *after* they're posted)
3. After hitting 'Confirm your post,' it would have given her the link to what she just posted, like it always does, and if she clicked on that link, she would be reading her post, but on Psychology (as that's the board she told it to post to.)
4. Then, she could have just clicked on the link on the bottom of the page and the whole Psych board would open...this seems to work 99.9% of the time.Did that make sense? And if it didn't, it's MY shortcoming in not writing it better, not yours in not understanding.....just make me say it another way. I want to help :-)
