Can't find Active Topics
« on: February 27, 2017, 04:01:39 PM »
Hi,

I wanted to write on the Skype thread, but as soon as I log in, it is all political threads and I can't find the damn topic anywhere. Does anyone know where it is?

Maybe "Russian Women Discussion" is no longer an accurate description of this website and it should be changed to "Donald Trump Discussion" or "American Politics Discussion"??!!

Bounder, I assume you mean you cannot see it in the "Recent Posts" list at right? If so, you'll just have to use the forum "Search" function with "Skype" as keyword, and you'll get a list of all posts with that keyword in it ;).

Yes, and the repetitions are profoundly boring to non-US members :(. But, as Trump's presidency gets rolling, I'am afraid we must expect even more of it.
:deadhorse:

A solution might be to lump all those threads into a single one, as was done for Obama's :-\.

I usually look at the list of recent posts along the bottom of the screen. I'm assuming the latest posts on the right-hand side are the same ones as the list at the bottom of the page.

I don't ever use the search function for reasons that have just been borne out. I searched the term "Skype" - the recent thread (the one I was looking for - doesn't turn up.

After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

Under the 'Experienced' heading, currently three down. Assuming you're being serious though and it not me just not getting a sense of sarcasm, lol. If can't find I guess either use the search function, try another browser/computer. Occasionally on some of my gear I get topic only appear on the main screen, a glitch I guess.

How are thing going in Moscow Bounder? All blossoming I hope :D

well, if you find tech support more interesting, that's wonderful, I thought he'd get better feedback for his question at http://community.skype.com/ than here
anyone know how to configure TensorFlow under Windows?  I'd be 'blown away' if there was...

BTW, as someone married to a Ukrainian woman for 17 years, with 2 bi-lingual children, and who lived 3 yr in Sevastopol, and who's been going to the FSU for over 20 years, I offer the following advice.

1. use common sense
2. use google
3. some things are best experienced directly on your own, the more you learn, the better you become at handling different situations
4. don't be afraid to try things that are challenging and to make mistakes
5. Obolon on tap is pretty darn good on a hot summer's day, stay away from the kvas wagon however
6. if you want to learn Russian quickly use Google!  go to Google's language tools, set it from English to Russian translation, type in something like, "I want to buy", on the right right side you'll see the Russian translation, click on the speaker button and you'll hear it spoken to you, it'll sound like, "ya ha choo kopeet", then learn the nouns that are important like beer or piva, do this with more and more phrases and nouns, before you know it you'll speak enough Russian to get a taxi, buy lunch, or ask a really pretty girl "where the post office is"  go have an adventure, live life

That would be a BAD idea --at this stage.
As I pointed out to the incalcerint Gator -- threads may have TRUMP as central character but in fact are on quite different topics.

EG
Immigration thread is quite different thread on Russian relationship-- who Trump admin incompetence etc
Threads

This thread
The big deal: Putin intends to dismantle the world order    Started Sept13 2016

Specifically is about Putins attempting to change the balance of power -the title is clear enough.

UKRAINE & USA Relationship under Trump  Nov 19 2016
Started after the election with many specific questions still unanswered to this day

THE TRUMP DOCTRINE  Starte d Feb1 2016

 Was intended to be about Trumps manifesto-- his overall plan and ongoing execution of it.

THE TRUMP PATH TO IMPEACHMENT  started FEB15th 2016
Instead of polluting other threads with what may or may not be a short term issue -- and with many rumours flying I considered it appropriate to try and concentrate the discussion here of  what was very hot news.
Thhis is still very much a game in action-- so keep following!
http://www.russianwomendiscussion.com/index.php?topic=21246.100


BTW--how long did it take to amalagamate Obama threads--8 years?
It would be an entirely incorrect response at this stage -- and even more so because of some "girls' hissy fit.

That would fit well into the "Skype" thread I was asking about, not that it would be particularly relevant and would be really more akin to trolling.  There was a skype thread going on, I think Boethius has linked it, you - just a useless douchebag.

"I'm 'sorry' - but as it relates to a westerner's communication with FSU people - I don't see the need for the question ...

No.  Saw your last sentence and the beginning.  Troll.  Looking for useful information such as Boethius and Trenchcoat provided. Look up "helpful" in the dictionary.  And "douchebag," while you're there.

No, "Latest information re immigration from Trump" describes this website for anyone coming here if they log in.

I feel your pain.  But how will lumping all into one thread change anything?  It will just be the same volume going into a single thread.  So when you log in, all you'll see is "Donald Trump" thread.  Better would be to consign these discussions to a corner and leave oxygen available for dating in FSU.

There are one or two threads that gobble up the "advertising space" of recent posts and then the rest are consigned to God knows where. That's the problem.
