I think it may be an improvement

WB, I know your question has come up at an inopportune moment, I hope you don't feel bad!

I do find it a very valid point (and thank you for saying I'm an asset. Gosh.).

I wonder if there is some means (when administrative functions are back to normal) to set up and save your own personal searches (without having to go through the Advanced Search every time), or extended search functions which allow you to exclude various sections. I too would really love not to wade through masses of Fun and Games when trying to find the new posts that do interest me.

Rhabbi - good idea; the only issue with that being that any new threads of course will not be subscribed to yet; and, personally, I really do not want my mail box filled up.

I hope that everyone will soon be able to come back and help us. Um. Except Rabbit, of course.

moptop, I subscribe to the Forums, not the threads. If you go to each Forum there is a forum Tools button that allows you to do this.

Thanks Rhabbi but let me understand this just a bit more. First I must say I agree with moptop about not wanting my mailbox flooded since it is limited in size. Then allow me to ask; if I subscribe to a forum rather than a thread will it show up in my User CP along with the subscribed threads? There are certain threads I do want to remain subscribed to as well as maybe some of the forums.

Still I have to believe that it would be much simpler if a simple sort could be setup to eliminate the Fun & Games from the New Post search so anything new would not be overlooked say in some forum I may not have subscribed to.

I get about 15 emails a day from here because I keep track of a lot of Forums, but I only get one email for each Forum. This shows me which threads have been updated for that forum, and the threads that have been updated. Unfortunately, this does not show up in the User CP. I wish it did because it would make things a little easier.

As for the size of your email box, why not get one at gmail? It is completely free and all but unlimited in size. This makes things a lot easier.

I wonder if it would be at all possible to break down the New Posts link into separate Categories.
This way when you click on the link new posts it would be separated by folders to each part of the forum.

Or even to have the posts set up so that Fun and Games are always last on the list, regardless of when the posts were made.

I don't know how difficult this would be to do, I would imagine that it wouldn't be easy, but just a suggestion on my part.

No Rhabbi I was not talking about my email box, it is 2 Gig. I would only want notification in my PM mailbox if at all. Maybe that is not possible. Thanks again.
