I have not been on for about a week and noticed some things had changed. I was wondering... when I click on a topic only the original post shows and I have to click on each individual bullet to read the rest... is there a way to look at them all at once... thanks

I just fixed my own problem...lol.
in case anyone needs to know its under options...dunno why I did not see it five minutes ago..lol

Sometime, randomly that will happen to me. As you said, go to Options and click onto Standard. That should bring you back to normal postings and viewing.
