When i look at a topic it doesn't show the entire tread. i have to click on each damn thread and it's getting on my nerves! can this be adjusted?

Try clicking on "Options" in the upper right. Then click "switch to: standard". My guess is that yours is set on "outline".

Yup, that will fix it.

BTW melrobsings, when you had your birthday a couple months ago, it said that you were "99" years old. (had to laugh at that one.)
