Tips for better flow (forum reading not ink)


Elaine

Recommended Posts

Confused by multiple categories and topics? Overwhelmed with trying to follow a thread? The following is the procedure that I follow. It makes the FPN flow more like a Boardhost type board.

 

1. Open/sign in to FPN

 

2. Click on View New Posts. This can be found in the upper right corner. It brings you to a nice list of topics that are new or have been added to since your last visit.

 

3. See the little checkmarks right next to the topic titles? Click on that and it will bring you to the latest posts in that topic since your last visit. Neat huh? When you’re done with a particular thread, click the back button on your browser to get back to the list of topics.

 

4. When you’re finished reading all the topics click Mark all forums as read and return to index. This can be found at the top of the box of topic titles. Wait! Not yet! If there were a lot of posts or if you took a while to read them then first click the View New Posts again or the refresh button on your browser. The little checkmark will appear again if anyone added something while you were reading.

 

Happy Navigating!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
