The front page news on the Whiteblaze forum has always been under the category "General". If something outrageous happens and you want the greatest number of views for a post you should post it under "General". If you want the fewest number of views then post it way on the back page under "Parks, Forests & Wilderness" then subsection "Some State Park". Is it not strange that anything controversial will get moved pdq?
Sorry, we are fresh out of tin foil hats.
Something far simpler.
General is a catch-all. Talks about Baxter state park seems more appropriate, in, I don't know BAXTER STATE PARK esp when there is already a thread about it. Many threads. Many great threads. YUGE threads....
In other news, I just moved a thread about milk powder to the FOODS category. Must be a conspiracy! :O

EDIT: Psst..if you do NEW POSTS, all the posts show up the same way. ;)
No folks, put the thread into the correct sub-forum. If it is a very active thread,it'll show up in What's New or Today's Posts. The difference in those two is that if you have read a thread and it has not received a new post since then, the thread will show up in Today's Posts but not What's New. On the other hand, What's New will find threads that have new posts older than 24 hours, Today's Post has a 24 hour limit. New posts to threads also show up in the recent posts box on the home page if it is active, but not a lot of space in that box.Quote:

Guess what, I am going to move this over to Forum Help Topics. It will be seen much longer there because even though closed, that subforum has far fewer threads than General.
