And…. I have pause after messages = ALWAYS on in my options selection – ns (Next Subject?) scrolls them ALL by, no pause, no chance to reply, nothing. SO…. what now?

Ben, most of the new forum commands require that you type the first 3 characters. So NEX SUB _will_ take you to the NEXT SUBJECT . NS is still NON-STOP. BTW, even if you have 'pause always' selected in your OPTIONS you can override that and other commands dynamically.

Try the old r;t;n – it has some very unsettling results from the forum prompt.

ok, I'll give it a try. Marlene

Try the proper RTN and you'll see itwork just fine.

Nonetheless, it's a bit misleading of CIS to imply that all old commands do work fine with no problems. Have you noticed something else? My "top page" seems to be broke. I used to always get kicked to here when I log on. Now, if there's a "new on CIS" section, my top page is page 1. And I have to type GO AMIGAF. Then on another log-on, I'll wind up in AMIGAF automatically. Haven't figured that out yet.

Will happen at least once a week, when the 'What's New.." comes out. I seem to remember it happening on Thursday, and for the first three times you log on when it happens.

So will SKIP ALL. I noticed real quick (mainly because I had it on a "hot" key) that SKALL is no longer kosher. As I mentioned in PRACTICE, they may have kept the old commands in the new software, but they didn't keep the old abbreviations. Oh well.
#125133From: Marlene Zenker/SYSOPMay 17, 1988 8:43 PM
Right, they have their reasons for forcing the 3 character minimum but it's a big pain. Hot keys are a definite plus! Marlene

NO NO NO…NEX SUB takes you to the NEXT SUBJECT THREAD, not the next message. A simple CR does that! NEX SUB replaces SKALL (Skip All)

Thank Darwin we have a year on the old software before we have to change.

Don, did I say something to the contrary? Ben thought the NS was next subject. Marlene

NS == NonStop overrides the default. Let's hope you didn't pitch your latest issue of Online Today (the May 88 issue). It has the old vs the new commands on page 26 plus lots of other articles on the new software. Don
