Home page - Orchid Board

Does any one know how to change your home page to something different, like new posts or forums page. Some how mine got changed to, Message - sorry no matches. Before when you would open the OB page or the home tab, new posts would appear. I have no idea how that happen either. I think there use to be 2 small blue arrows at the top right of the page but can not find them now. Any help appreciated.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I simply go to the site, and click on the "new posts" link in to top menu.

How do you get to Orchid Board? I have a bookmark on my toolbar, so it is always visible. I physically made the bookmark so it goes to that URL, which is the Forum menu page. If that URL should change, I would delete the bookmark and set up a new one with the correct URL. Will that work for you?

When I go to the OrchidBoard web site, the first page that comes up, the home page, is a message page that says Message- sorry no matches, try different key words. And if I go to the site menu on the left of the page and hit Home, the same page shows up. I think I cleared my browsing history and that maybe what cause it. Before that when I came to the OB website the first thing I would see would be the new posts page and if I hit Home, in the site menu, it would also show the new posts page. I feel like it is all a bad dream. There must be a way that you can change the home page so that new posts page comes up without hitting any menus. It did it before.

Ahha, Fishmom my bookmark got cleared when I cleared my browsing history. And I have going a though a different bookmark to the site. The URL must be different. Thank you, I will try making a new bookmark.

Strange, I've never seen that message, which seems like it goes with the search function. If you click on "Forums" at the right, does that button work?

I've never heard of this actual problem.

Cross-poste, obviously. Glad you have solved it!

Thank you fishmom. I just bookmarked the new post page and that did the trick. You just need to be smarter than the machine. Thank you again.

The forum page would come up if you hit the forum page button. It was just annoying to see that message page every time you went to the site.
