Hello from a new member.

My main interests are old motorcycles and Land Rovers as well as a passing interest in model making.

I spent my working life as a toolmaker in the Injection mould industry and now my home workshop consists of a Bridgeport turret mill and an Excel 14×40 lathe.

I regularly get castings made for friends and machine sometimes parts for them. The cross over for home workshop is very much as the model engineer.

I have read some of the posts on the site and seem to start reading part way through the banter. Where should I be looking for the start of a thread ?

Chris.

Chris you probably have things set to take you to the last page of a thread as default, it is possible to set the first page as default by going to "settings" on the green bar along the top of the page and then "my account".

The other option is to look just above the first post of any thread and there you will see the page numbers with a tab to take you to the first etc. "<< First < Prev 23 24 25 26 27 28 "

Hi Chris – welcome!

If you look under Topics you will see the various subjects & threads. I guess you have seen the " what did you do today (2015) which does cover a wide field and contains quite a bit of banter – all good in my view as it " humanises" the forum. Just dive in and contribute!

……….or, of course, do as Jason says – I suspect that is the info. you were seeking !

( I'll go and get my puddin now – Blackberry and Apple crumble with custard!)

Welcome aboard Chris,

In due course you will be asking 'how do I go straight to the last posts of a thread?'.

In your profile you can select whether you go to the first or last page of a thread when you click it, but the quick links at right will always take you to the latest comments.

All good info but you don't get the first / previous bit at the top until you've got multiple pages so right now you don't see them on this page of the thread but stay with it and have fun.

Good morning Mr Evans. Fancy meeting you here. It's a small world. Bob Rodgerson visits as well you know.

I wonder if you are going to the NEC next Saturday for the classic Bike Show. I shall be there with my Compact Friend, and Geof the Bonnie.

See you soon Chris.

[Chris Evans 6Participant @chrisevans6]

Hi Mike, I have been lurking on here a while and noticed some of Bobs posts. Iv'e found my way around the board now that I have registered.

Sadly I will not make the NEC as I am due to visit youngest daughter in London so regards to all there.

Chris.
