Dear All
I've been spying on you for about two years, and am so very grateful to so many of you for the tips, links, advice, benefit of experience, entertainment....
I wonder if you could help me with this,
I may access UH via my personal email on one of three office computers (no internet at home).
1. When I registered, the page entitled 'Photography Forum Digest' (With Contests / Main / General...) sprouted little green tags ('New Topic') at every item. I'm not sure what the point / meaning of this is, nor do I know why I only get it on one of the three computers. Aren't ALL topics new each day?
2. If I look back at a previous day's lists on the 'Photography Forum Digest' page, they are not quite the same lists on all three computers any more - the computer with the green 'tags' omitted at least one item (under 'General') that one of the other computers for the same day had. How come? I don't want to miss anything. This was something that I specifically wanted to return to the next day, but it was only to be found on the non-'green tag' computer.
3. How do you tell when a topic is 'finished', i.e. it is not worth commenting any further; all replies are 'in'? At the expiry of the day it was posted? Or do topics extend for several days? I do not see dates.
4. The 'green tag' computer (only) now offers me 'Upcoming Topics'. Are these for the next day? They are not sorted into categories. Are they sorted by the administrator? Does the writer get to direct where his post goes?
5. What does 'OP' stand for?
Many thanks in advance (I cannot usually return to UH on any given day.) My apologies for being so obtuse!

Hi Lingen,
Welcome to UHH
I don't access via the email - I use bookmark with auto log in so green tags mean nothing to me. It is probably merely a convention to entice your interest.
Topic list does change - lots of reasons have been given. If you log out and log in again straight away often the lists have altered. It seems to be the nature of the beast..You can hunt by clicking previous pages or by using search or click as a "watched topic" and then note when your (reply name =>) changes to someone elses 'name' in the end box.
The way to keep your topic on the list is to keep opening it and replying or adding. Once activity drops then it loses its place. Some people seem to do this well others not so...it may also depend on your time zone - v- UHH location(?)time.
Upcoming topics I think are what are listed under "recent posts" when the email gets sent. If you open your email late they may not even be on the list anymore....!However if you click on an emailed topic it will open from wherever it now resides.
OP is opperative person ie YOU when you post a new topic as against someone who replies to your topic (and may start up another thread within your topic (Highjack it) ..
Topics finish only when the last post is so long ago that the topic gets superceded by so many that it falls off the page (see as above) most people can be private messaged in reference to their topic if you feel that there is something that you can add to their knowlege.
You can sign up for several sub group forums within UHH. simply go to the individual subgroup forum you wish to add a topic to and then "create new topic" the path automatically puts it into that forum topic list. There isn't a way to put a topic into every subgroup (what would be the point)
Hey don't appologise for being too busy to spend every day on UHH we are supposed to be photographers not simply social networkers....HE HE!
Hopefully ADMIN will get back to you and correct any mistakes I have made....
hope this helps
George
