Hi Joe,

I congratulate you for putting together such a fine site.

I am only able to check your site about once a day and I am always drawn to the '10 most recent posts' to catch up on site activity. The problem is that there may be many more than 10 new posts since the last time I looked. You have many forums and it is difficult to search for new posts going one by one through the forums.

Is it possible to increase the most recent posts to 25 or to use some other method to display most recent posts?

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,

You and I have been thinking the same thing!

I am putting in a request to the overlords who's server this forum is hosted on. 25 sound like a good number to start.

What I have been doing from the start way back in May, is to scroll down the home page, and look for the boards with the "TODAY" indicator on the right side of the boards. Because like you, I don't want to miss any postings either.

Thanks for coming back each day, as it's great knowing that the site is a regular daily ritual with many of our members. I know I must log in about 3 or 4 times a day myself to keep up with the posters and newly registered members...in that if several join in at one time or I wait too long to see who joined...I miss that person entirely to include them in the newsletter mailing list. It is an ordeal to cross check names in the Forum registered member listing and my mail listing.

Thank you all, and I will see what I can do to increase the daily postings.

Is there any such thing??

Well guys...

The answer is..............no.

I'm sure the owners of Proboards could code something up, but they tell me that it is not possible.

Sorry, but we will just have to work around it as best we can.

Increasing the most recent posts from 10 to 25!!!...

You asked...and your gracious Administrator to the Chicago Astronomer delivers.

You will find on the home page a task bar below the welcome and PM message notice box...

Select the "search" function.

After which all the boards will be displayed. At the bottom it will ask your parameters. Punch in 25 or really what ever number you are fond of, and it will display your desired number of posts.

It will do this for the past day, week, month etc...

No extra charge!
