edna Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) see this example: click for larger image (doesn't matter if I'm using a different skin than you) 1. clicking on the Thread Title ("Word Association III") takes you to: - the first New Post, if there are new posts - the first post of the thread, otherwise 2. clicking on the Numbers beneath the Thread Title takes you to: - the #th page of the thread NOTE the ellipses at the end - '264' is NOT the last page of the thread! 3. clicking on the Username of the last post ("Mindcrime" in this case), takes you to: - the last post, no matter if that's a new one or not okay? Martin, I don't know if it's cause Kevin and myself have Mac -maybe Lissy too? - but we click on thelast number... like on the 264 of the image you posted... yet it directs us to some posts from one year ago. That's cause the thread only shows 153 pages. So we click on the last number -153- and we go to page 153. But the thread actually has 500 and something... I think it happens when the threads starts to be vey long. Edited September 12, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkstones Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Drunks. My sister and I went out last night to grab some dinner at this really cool restaurant in Greensboro. The idiot at the table next to us was 12 sheets to the wind and it wasn't even late at night - more like 7pm or something. What's worse, it was a woman and there's nothing more cringe-worthy than a drunk woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 12 sheets to the wind What does that saying mean, anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 What does that saying mean, anyone know? The actual phrase, now that I've looked it up is "3 sheets to the wind", but my dad for some reason says 12. Anyway, here's where it started: Drink up, me hearties, yo ho! The sailing life gave us the intoxicating phrase "three sheets to the wind," although "three sheets in the wind" came first. Among nautical folks, a "sheet" refers to the rope used to secure a ship's sail. On the square-rigged ships of yore, three sheets were needed to tie up the sails. So, if all three of the ship's sheets were loose in the wind, the sail would flop about and the ship would go off course -- rather like a drunken sailor staggering around on shore. "Three sheets in the wind" was first recorded in 1821 by Pierce Egan in his work "Real Life in London." In those days, sailors had a rating system for their inebriation. "One sheet" was merely tipsy, and it went up to "four sheets," meaning unconscious. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
