MikeV Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Is there a listing of the official forums within the TI-Atari pages somewhere? Also, is there a download archive (apart from items attached to posts) on these pages? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 This one, and the development forum are in the Classic Computing hierarchy... And there is a sticky, FAQ thread... It'll talk about archives... I think the truthful answer about archives is 'no', but there is an archive aspiration on http://ftp.whtech.com/ -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kl99 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 If people guide you to atariage for TI they mean the given forums by jedimatt. There is no other TI only forum on atariage, only single threads at the fleamarket maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The easiest and quickest way to send someone (here) to the "official" AtariAge TI section is to put the important part first... the TI99... as in... ti99.atariage.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the truthful answer about archives is 'no', but there is an archive aspiration on http://ftp.whtech.com -M@ Thanks for the course correction. Computers and their terminology have always been somewhat of a mystery. I probably should have asked about threads. There are a gazillion of those here, which makes finding information (or what goes where) challenging. Some appear to be rather official (or clearly defined), e.g. Finalgrom, AMS, RXB, etc. I have read the FAQ, but it is general. MikeV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 This being a general-purpose forum, threads aren't heavily sorted. We basically have two categories: development and everything else. Sometimes the two blur a bit, but generally everything stays within that simple sort. Probably your best option when looking for something specific would be to use the search function, targeted to the simplest possible description you can think of for the topic you want to search for. There is a HUGE amount of information buried in these threads. . .and there is no such thing as thread necromancy here, as all threads, no matter how old, are fair game for updates and new questions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 It's also a little off the beaten path, but in my blog I have an entry that will take you DIRECTLY to some things as like keyboard strips, Reference Cards, Cartridge Labels, 3D Printer Files, Diskette Label Artwork, P-Box Label Replacements, Technical Information, Programming Aids, Some Geneve Materials, and the new Historical Section. All you have to do is.... << CLICK HERE >>. And as always, if there is something of GOOD QUALITY that you would like to see included, just fire me off a PM with the link.

Computers and their terminology have always been somewhat elusive. A better term would have been "thread" as you suggested. Some of the threads appear "official", e.g. AMS, FinalGrom, RXB, etc. so I presumed questions along those lines are placed there. The great number of threads makes it difficult to seek information and/ or contribute. I have read the TI FAQ, but it does not directly deal with these TI-Atari pages. There are archives in the Finalgrom thread, but they consist of multiple links. A different way of doing things, but it works. There are also references here to a gamebase, which I have not yet located. Thanks again. MikeV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appear to have responded twice as the phone rang (co-op business) and could not find my earlier post and presumed it was not complete. Now there are two! Thanks!

Yes, I learned that the less convenient way by responding to some 4 or 5 year old threads. (Topics found via a search.) I need to read more carefully. thanks.

MikeV Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Do people here generally bookmark a thread of interest? Is there a better way to get back to threads (they get shuffled all the time as the newest are placed on top)? Can you elect to pin them at the start of the pages, some appear to be automatically? I do not think I pinned them myself. (Lastly!) How do some posts end up with the convenient tags? Thanks in advance. MV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
