I was really pleased to see something besides a directory tree when I ended up at the main website URL. I had typed it in once and it's there in my browser history so I kept seeing the directory over and over and then navigating into the vBulletin directory to access the forum.

Thanks for making this landing place more informative and welcoming. I personally wouldn't have been so skittish when I arrived if I had seen that at the first. I think the general tone here plus this new home page helps our lurker friends realize that, perhaps at last, they truly are among friends and brothers and sisters.

I also think you should include a link back to that home page from inside the forum. Maybe just a quick link or under the FAQ? Since it does have substantive information on it about who we are and why we're here.

I like those pictures, too!

Hello... not sure where to post this, but I have a couple of technical questions:

1. I am used to following forum threads in a chronological manner, but since registering here, the linear mode of thread displays post from most recent to opening post. since this is disconcerting for me, how do I reverse the order so op displays first and most recent post last?

2. how do I apply for a password to access the sisters' forum?

TIA!

Please hit "User CP" (control panel), then click on "Edit Options" on your left there...then third box down is "Thread Display Options"...go to the pull-down box "Thread Display Mode" and pull it down to "Linear - oldest first"

Please send PM to "Thankful Jane" or "Nell" and tell them just a little about yourself and they will pass that along to you.

The hardest adjustment for me coming to this forum from the other one is being able to find and read all posts new posts since my last visit. If I click "New Posts" at the top of the page, I get a list of all new posts from evey subforum. That's great, but it seems I only get the new posts for the current day. I want to see unread posts for prior days as well.

(The other forum (Bereans) was a "sub" forum which, when you entered it, you could easily see what posts you had not read because they were bolded/flagged. That was nice.)

So far the only thing I have figured out as a way to find all posts I haven't read (including days prior to the current one), is to open each subforum, by clicking on the subforum name (on the left of the page). Then I can identify the threads on that subforum which I have not read because they are bolded/flagged.

My question: Is there is a better, faster, way to accomplish my objective? I would be very grateful if someone could tell me that there was!

Thankful Jane
