Thread: Teakdoor last 10 posts table

Hello All, how do you get the top table dialog on the teakdoor homepage to display? The one that shows the last 10posts from members? It seems to have disappeared..

Dunno about top ten but you can hit “new posts” right under the TD logo and see all the latest posts.

If something his changed for you about the way the forum is working, I’d suggest clearing your browser cache to see if it helps.

AdminNev is the expert but i fear he has powered down for the off-peak period.

^ Nev, you have privileges which some here, mere mortals, don't.

Yeah....where's me last choice ? I've been dudded !

Nev just outed himself...

Nev finally busted.

What's the big deal? This is mine:

Just go to top of page left, 'forum home'.

another!!!, anyone else want to post their menu options.

His is the main admin account, no doubt about it.

Nope. You two have just busted yourselves for being thick. You need to turn off your top ten Stats before you can re-enable them. Dummies.

Get back to me if you can't work out how to turn them off.

^ Sorry Mr Neville

I'll pick up one of these next time I'm in TESCO

Nev, is there a halfway house before jail, like a naughty step you can make Dave wait on and it only allows him to post with words of four letters or less?

I'm OK with longer words, even worlds with 5/6 letters, such as would, could and should (I'm teaching my kids 'sight words ATM).

Basically, as long as the words are monosyllabic ... I'm fine

Yes, but as Dave48 is my best friend on TD I couldn't possibly do that to him.

Don't do it - seriously. My kid was basically taught at school in that method, and it seriously f&cked up his reading and writing for years.

Its based on the blood stupid premise that that's how Chinese learn the language (which is true) - but we have a phonetic language so we don't need to.

I can still remember my kid coming back with a list of words to memorise along the lines of:

Bicycle
Ambulance
Horse
container.

Completely effed up.

I think I just blushed

Well, keep your back to the wall...we're still not sure about Nifty Nev.

Thank you Nev you are the Don!

It it only took me another 15mins after reading this to find the menu as hidden behind the search box when using mobile..

And I think the next menu option “Yer a c...” must also be hidden!

Teaching sight words to supplement phonics based instruction is fine as long as they're the most common (ie useful). Unfortunately, as per your example, there are plenty of teachers out there who simply don't understand this concept or just haven't had the training.
