0 tiger_lily111 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Nothing else so far, but I'm glad people are still having fun! (Or being annoyed into it, whatever works! ) Is anyone else missing the options button that used to be at the top of each topic that allows you to choose how posts are displayed? I had it set to always show the OP at the top of each page and now it doesn't. Anyone else have this issue? It does look as though I'm missing said button, but my option didn't change - I still have the riddle at the top of each page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
