Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

Any way to create a link that always takes you to the most recent post in a thread?
Why would you wanna miss the conversation & just read "+1" ?
You could just go to the last page

Is there a full detailed program guide for Pesach at Whistler? (I.e does anyone know when Dan is speaking)

$297 fare to Paris
« Reply #7770 on: March 02, 2017, 09:31:27 PM »
Hi all,

When I search now, I don't see that fare anymore. Does it mean it's gone? I was really looking forward to booking for 3 persons.

Thanks in advance

There is a setting to see threads sorted with newest on top. When you then click the thread title, it takes you to the first post, which is the newest.
Profile-look and layout.

I think OP wanted only for a specific thread, which in that case doesn't work, because it applies for all threads

Interesting but wow is it disconcerting. I suppose if you are used to it, it could work for some.

When you have a list of topics that you pulled up lets say by clicking "Show unread posts since last visit."  Look all the way to the right of each listed thread.  There's a symbol that looks like a page with the left corner folded over that has an arrow on it.  Click that to go to the last post of the thread.

How do attach your AA CC# to your reservation to receive free baggage?
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(

Should be automatic if your AA FFN is on your reservation.
