Richard,At the top of the page, under you "Hey, Richard, you have 436 messages, all of which are new." welcome message, there's a link that says "Show unread posts since last visit." What Marc is talking about is using that link to find only the messages that have been posted since the last time you logged and checked. This link is the only thing I use on the board, unless I'm searching for something specific. Every morning, I hit that link, and I get only the latest posts. Usually, it's no more than a single page. When I read a specific post in the list, I always click on the button at the right that takes me to the most recent postings within that thread. When I'm done reading, I use the back buttone (<alt> right-arrow) to return to the list, and the thread I just read is no longer in the list, so the list shrinks with every thread I read. There are many threads I don't read, because they don't pertain to my interests, and I just don't have the time. So every couple days, I'll select the link that shows ALL unread threads, and then select the link that says "mark as read". By using the board in this manner, I keep it managed to my time and needs and don't miss anything. That's just what works for me. Personally, I think the rally information should not be included in the Bus Discussion folder, but rather have it's own folder under the MAK Publishing Bulletin Board. That way, if you're interested in rally stuff you can go there and look. If you're not, you don't have the bus related threads cluttered with stuff you don't really care about. I feel the same way about the flea market stuff. Make a separate folder. Easier to manage that way, too. This is similar to the way BNO is set up, and it works well there. They have a link which displays only the threads with posts from the last day, so you can see only the new stuff. I'm sure this board has something similar that would combine all the folders and display only the new posts.craig
and on a minor note - I kind of enjoy the playfulness of an occasional rolling banner. along with lots of happy faces. Guess that puts me in a minority position - but not the first itme. Kind Regards, Phil
I just wanted say one more thing on this, since I started this whole thing.My whole intention was to stop the BUMPING (posting in a topic just to move it to the top of the list)If someone has relative information, comments, questions, new updates...etc Its great...But, there had been (in my opinion) an excessive amount involving rallies.I did not want to exclude Rallies from the general BBS....If we could just end the BUMPING everthing is "Great" as far as I am concerned.The Poll results can easily be read in many ways, depending on your position on this matter.Which is obvious from the written responses under the poll.Good luck with that one Nick And last I want to publicly apologise to BKIt was his bumps that started me on this topic, but he is by NO means the only offender.BK, didn't mean to throw you under the bus...so to speak..... Alright....Back to BUS stuffCliff
