I don't remember where the thread was...or I'd just post it there, but there IS a way that you can make the Longhaircareforum look less flashy and be sorta stealth about it...
Here's what I learned:
Take any thread you want to see, i.e.
{longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=50291}
and make a few modifications to make it look like:
{longhaircareforum.com/archive/index.php/t-50291}
Can you see the similarities?
1) In the address bar, delete "showthread" and replace it with "archive/index".
2) delete the "?" and replace it with "/"
3) delete the "=" and replace it with "-"
Done.
This should take you to an archived version of the thread, making it less obvious to those nearby what you're looking at.
Oh, also, please note: I Google search info on longhaircareforum all the time. In the search engine at Google, I type:
site:www.longhaircareforum.com {whatever I want to search on}
When I do this, sometimes threads show up that have a slight deviation from what I posted above. i.e.
{longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?p=1479274}
Notice that at the end of the address, it says "p=1479274" ?
For my method to work, that 'p' has to be a 't'. So, those threads won't convert properly. Go back to Google and look for that same thread but with a 't' at the end instead. Then convert it, and you should be good to go.
If this didn't make sense, or was thoroughly confusing, please let me know so I can edit it to make it clearer.
HTH!
