For the past couple months, this place has been HOPPING! The 'Latest forums' moves FAST! Oftimes, I get an e-mail to a post I have subscribed to and I go to read it and it has already moved off the home page. And I check in here several times a day! I have also tried clicking 'View New Forums' at the top of the forum page, but it mirrors the home page (probably the source)......Anyways, the troubling part is that all this new activity can be post-defeating. Have you considered any methods to 'slowing down' or extending the 'new' posts area? Just making it longer or two columns would be nice. Or how about making 'For Sale' posts not show up on new posts (and maybe there are others)? If somebody is looking for something or selling something, I know I just go straight to the for sale forum. As I type this, there are about 6 posts on the new posts page for for sale stuff--some of it months old.

I think keeping the forsale post's off the new post list would slow things down there. That would be A good thing.

Like Zvoiture said "If somebody is looking for something or selling something, I know I just go straight to the for sale forum. "

Thats true for me aswell.

Yep, it's been great!! I'm having a lot of fun with this website. I always like to see people having a good time with it as well.

Hmm... these are great ideas. Not sure if I can keep the for sale forums from showing up in the 'new posts' area, but, I'll have a look at the settings. It might be something I have to change in the code.

Have you tried the links in your block on the main page? Take a look at it... 2nd link from the bottom (just above Log Out), you can see a link. It says XX New Posts and when you click on it... it will show you XX new posts since you last visited the site.

This is the advantage of cookies....

Anyway, that's how I keep up to date on the posts since I was here last.
