Technical Questions Category Test

This is just a test to see if OPs in Technical Questions will show in MFO Discussions. I think they do.

Comments

  • Yes, for me using a laptop; if that matters. My MFO page has always been the page that lists 'Start New Discussion' with a full list of all other choices listed below.

    Yogi,

    This thread shows up in "Discussions +" after catch22 posted his comments.
    I didn't check before catch22 posted to see if thread shows up in "Discussions" category.
  • @Observant1 When I look at the MFO page of discussion choices (I always start and use 'recent discussions', on the subject line, to the 'right' of 'time' of the last post, I still read 'Technical Discussions'. Perhaps this is a pc/mobile browser circumstance. I also 'see' technical discussions if I select Discussions +.

    Hi @catch22,

    I usually start with "Discussions +" for threads with comments
    and then check "Discussions" for threads without comments when browsing MFO.
    I also see "Technical Questions" listed near the timestamp when viewing this thread via "Discussions +".
    This is by design - "Technical Questions", "Fund Discussions" or "Other Investing"
    will be listed near the timestamp for threads created within these respective categories.
    You do not have a browser issue as it relates to this scenario.
  • Those of you who are really old farts will remember "Ted" and the reasons for the "Discussions +" and the "Off-Topic" sections. (That certainly includes you, @Catch22.)
    :)
  • Hi @Old_Joe Ah, Ted. He surely thought he had his own personal kingdom here. At some point in his life, he may have been a gracious person, but not here. I tolerated his crap against me, as I had known and worked with others of his mold. The worst part is that he drove away a few very decent poster here....Flack and cman. Both were very good at presenting and discussing investment thoughts.
    So, December is when he passed; but I don't recall if; 2017, 2018 or 2019. I though I had the information on my laptop; but, no.
