• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Thanks for the forum upgrade that includes a Cancel Button for posts. For some reason I always found posts I cancelled would come back and haunt me for days. The cancel button solves this.

I don't understand how you did that Peter. Below there is this new disk icon button where you can save or delete a post. but that button you are showing - I don't see that anywhere on my computer or phone. Not for creating a new thread or a post. Post another picture of the whole screen Peter so I can see the context?

So how I see it is 1) I create a new thread 2) Before posting it the "Cancel" button appears 3) I hit "Cancel" and the post disappears.

Here's the hover/ALT text (saying "Cancel"):

Ahh, the difference is how you start the thread. I think most of us click the orange "Post thread" button. That leads to a new screen that does not have a cancel button. What @CalgaryPT is doing is clicking and entering text in the "Thread title" box. That causes the content to slide down and space appears to enter the body text of a new post. Clicking the cancel icon causes the content to slide back up.

What about those of us that almost exclusively use our phones.......
