when I click on a topic I just see the first initial post. Instead of the rest of the posts being below like normal, it is almost like a bar of sort on the left side. it shows who posted and the first few words of what they said. you can click it to bring up there repsonse like a normal topic. how do i get it back to normal? I didnt change anything it just happened

Here we go again...

In the first post within a thread, click on the "Options" button in the top right corner above the first post. Under "Display Modes", select "Standard", and viola.

yeah that happened to me one time... i was freaking out and then i found out how to fix it... lol

thanks sidewinder. I looked in this section and didnt see any other topics about it so i asked a question. thanks
