There are a couple of threads missing - your's, MM's rather drunk computer fixing one.
I also had some difficulty posting answers yesterday, and the site was rather slow, despite a low number of logged in users.
I suspect they may have had DB problems and the threads are toast.

"But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
You can be obsessed by remorse all your life, not because you chose the wrong thing--you can always repent, atone--but because you never had the chance to prove to yourself that you would have chosen the right thing."
Umberto Eco, "Foucault's Pendulum"
"In the past men were handsome and great (now they are children and dwarfs), but this is merely one of the many facts that demonstrate the disaster of an aging world. The young no longer want to study anything, learning is in decline, the whole world walks on its head, blind men lead others equally blind and cause them to plunge into the abyss, birds leave the nest before they can fly, the jackass plays the lyre, oxen dance."
Umberto Eco, "In the Name of the Rose"
"The only truths that are useful are instruments to be thrown away.
Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth."
Umberto Eco, "In the Name of the Rose"

Or instead of remembrance we should start to search for the last clues of the last riddle...

It's the smell of what the bottle is floating in that concerns me !

I think I'm currently at Version 4.4.5.2. The LibreOffice website's front page HERE [^] is very enthusiastically encouraging people to move up to their Version 5.
Smart ? Stupid ? Good ? Bad ?
Opinions are welcome from anyone who has Version 5

I have it and it works quite well. No issues with it, and it loads quite quickly, although that may be a result of the powerful machine I have.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I had no problem with the 5.x version whatsoever (it is better than previous versions), but I have 5.0.3, not the 5.1.0 you see on the site...

I'm using Version 5.1.0.3, and it's pretty damn good.
I swapped to Libre after I had to reinstall Win10 from scratch, and MS refused to accept my Office 2010 installation (that came with the PC and I hated it anyway, except for Excel and Outlook)
Works well - it's less disjointed than Office and I haven't found anything it didn't cope with.

Did they ever put thumbnails on the Writer section ? I can't get them on my current version.
|
|
|

If you mean thumbnails that show in Windows Explorer, then they are there for ODT files but not if you save in DOCX.
I save in DOCX, so I don't get them.

Do you mean to save thumbnails with documents?
...check this:
Tools/Options.../LibreOffice/Advanced/Expert Configuration/Look for property 'GenerateThumbnail'...

Mine has this set to true, but it only seems to work with ODT files, not DOCX (on my Win10 system anyway)

Not really.
I want to have the thumbnails on the left, similar to the way that Impress lets me see the slides in a small form.
Holy smoke ! There are a zillion of those.
Okay, found it, and it is set to true.
Duh, I'll try to install Version 5

It can be that OG is right (even most unlikely  ) and it works only for ODT...
