Thank you Dave - now it is clearing up and i see the meaning of the colours you describe


On the "general discussion" level there is a list of page numbers (which currently goes as far as page 167)

I want to browse all the topics since the beginning of the forum- but there are to many to do at one sitting.

therefore when i start to browse the topics i would like a way of marking the topics that i have already read

is it possible to mark all topics as "unread" so that by selecting " show unread topics since last visit "

 the board will display all unread topics from the beginning of the forum?

My first prize would be to browse say 4 pages at a sitting- that will mean that at the end of about

40 days i will have read everything
thanks fred

General Mach Discussion / "mark as read"
« on: December 19, 2011, 05:38:22 AM »
Hello all,

I am still battling to find out how to "mark as read" for a topic on the topis list

Scenatio is as follows -
I open the tab to general discussion on mach3 and a list of current topics titles  is displayed
Now I would like to eleiminate the topice which do not interest me.

If the topic does not interest me then I dont want that title to display next time i open
the discussion.

how is this done??

best regards fred

General Mach Discussion / No mcode shown on dry run?
« on: December 11, 2011, 09:43:50 AM »
Hello you chaps-

I typed in the code (as shown page 3.10 of the manual) for a dry run   

I put line numbers and remarks in (to only do one word at a time)
to help understand and debug

two questions- first one just to understand the logic

when i cycle (single step) the highlighted line on
the screen is the next line to be executerd - while the line
under the toolpath display is the line previous line already executed.

Am I correct in assuming the the highlighted line will be the next line
to be run and the displayed line under the toolpath is the line just
executed?

second question
the last line "m 30" doesnt appear on the screen ?

is this all correct or am i missing something?

many thanks
fred evans
