The only sub forum I checkout is the "new posts" subforum.
Likewise. I check the board 3-4 times a day and keep up just fine. Only thing is, dog-gone classifieds don't show up in New Post list.
I only use the New Post feature too.
Did not realize that classifieds do not show up there.
Rocky should be able to fix that glitch.
What say ye Rocky?

New post button is what I use and find it very handy on all forums. Maybe we could make the classifieds show up there also?

I know my work schedule has increased as well as family time as the kids have gotten older. I miss the days when we used to have get togethers at Old Venice etc.

It is what I said since the beginning. I took away a few when I took over and some users got outraged. What can we combine and get rid of? I am all for it.

I'm all for condensing the forums, too. New Posts is all I ever hit unless I'm searching some old thread.

Here's the funny thing about FB (not on other social media), you scroll through pages and pages of garbage for each interesting thing that comes along. And I'm pretty good about setting notifications priorities. Still overwhelmed with crap. For the time spent, the forums have more interesting info.

Where FB has the forum beat is in the controls: refresh, swipes to the main feed, etc. it has set the new user interface standard. If the board had the same controls, I think we'd see more activity. No easy feat though.

I see the classifieds have been added to the new post button.

Thanks
