    Why is it so important for a thread to not go off topic? I have been in a couple of threads where the subject has drifted, but it can be seen that people are participating on the "new" subject, as they would like to continue. Why can they not just carry on, as sometimes a subject will naturally develop into another and there is no going back, so to speak. I have looked in the various areas for an answer, and cannot see one....could someone help me with this?

    cause their would probaly be a thread already for the drifted topic which would then lead to a thread being off topic and not what the OP is about , if their is not a thread already on it , fire it up :50:
    hope that helps a bit

    The problem, whatever it is, only seems to be affecting that section of the forum.....we are aware of it, just can't seem to find the problem to rectify it unfortunately

    I had that same problem with the video thread. There is a video that I liked of Celtic that I wanted to post. I'll bookmark it on my favorites. Can someone send a message letting us know when it's fixed? Thanks.

    Hi, I'v been wondering for some time, when replying to a post how do you highlight
    a point? Make that part (BOLD), ie, darken it.

    Thanks..

    I mean 'highlighting' as in....


    ... making one sentence from the op STAND OUT, (not by shouting)by making that line bolder, darker.:87:..

    Sorry if i'm not explaining myself properly, :52:.

    I know, when the light switches on, it will be obvious...

    Type out what you want to say

    For example....Celtic are SPL Champions

    If you want to highlight, make bold the sentence you would, drag your mouse over the sentence like you were going to copy and paste and then when it is highlighted, click on the B above

    Celtic are SPL Champions

    Do you mean when quoting a post? If you do quote the post and highlight the part of the post you want to stand out and press bold
