Lightbulb How To - Finding New Posts
Just a quick HOW TO on using this board.

When you come back (several times a day )... the most effective way to see what you've missed is to click on NEW POSTS . The link is located on the blue navigation bar. I attached an image to help you find the link.

Let me know if anyone has any other CCR: How To questions.

We opened in Sept of 2003.
The first few months were a little slow but things have been growing fast ever since.

Just me (I don't get much sleep )

I'm going to put some moderators in place in a week or two so that will lift the load of watching posts a bit... but I do all the development work. I've had to learn a lot since Sept.

Homepage? You mean the design?

I did the disign of the site and set it up. The forum itself (where you post the messages) is a software program called vBulletin that you can install and customize.

I just wanted to "bump" this tread to the top because I believe the "NEW POSTS" button is the most effective way to use this board.

Yeah I have the "new posts" button bookmarked. It's my entry page 100% of the time.

I'd like to see some kind of search feature that could find keywords in the different posts. There are so many post out here that it hard to find what you're looking for even within the categories and sub-categories. thanks!
