Forum Participation

I think having "Features and Functions of the Quilt Show Website" as the first category on the forum topics is a good thing. After all, we need to be able to easily talk about the things that make the forum and the site run more smoothly, and new members can read more information about the site by seeing those forum topics.

I don't really have a problem with the forum setup. If I have to log off quickly before reading everything since last visit, which is many times the case, I just glance at the dates on the right side at my next visit and click on today's date. It takes a few more seconds, but works fine. I'm sure some of the less used topics will be taken off someday, but I can scroll thru them just as easily as not.

I love how the forum has evolved into a place where you can find out just about anything you have a problem with or a question about. Great part of this site! :lol:

I agree with everything Dana said. That is exactly how I catch up on the forum when "last visit" thing has been wiped out by my leaving. It really doesn't take too much longer. I love reading the forum whether it is quilting information or just personal news. Can't be too big or too many topics for me. Karen

The only time I have a problem with "View latest posts" is when my computer gets the blue screen of death and I'm in the middle of something. Then I have to go through every topic. I will admit, like Dana and Karen, it really doesn't take too long. I just get frustrated because I lose everything I was working on.

I am not saying to get rid of the POST SINCE YOU WERE HERE feature I am saying make it better....

Leave the past 25- 50 topic threads ( not sure how many threads they can list... the most I have ever seen was 15 topics) on the list and just have them roll off at the bottom of the list when they have been inactive for more than a week. If no one post one a topic it could still be in the TOPICS WITH NO RESPONSE search.

I also think most of the topics could be condensed... not too many people post some of the subjects... some of the post have been there for months...

I think we all pick certain topics to post in and post there.... Mine favorite section is THIS AND THAT cause then I do not have to stay on topic. I think a lot of other people post there too.




Does any of you ever look in the search for the topics with no response???? I do once in a while just to see if I can help someone else.
