Forum News...

Apparently, the powers that be are well aware of how slow things have been lately and are working feverishly to fix the problem. They're not very happy about it either, and are asking for our patience. My guess is it's the influx of new boards started by PP defectors that is causing the problem!

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve the board, and feel free to set it up however you like if you're the first one here in the morning. I started this board because I wanted a place for us to go where there were no bigshots and no nobodys. Everyone is welcome and equal here. If there is something you'd like to do, go ahead and do it. (Polls, Due Date Buddies, etc). I have enough time to help out on the board, but not unlimited time, especially in the evening and early morning, so it's up to you ladies to keep things flowing!

I will archive the board before I go to bed tonight, and try to stay on a schedule after that. If anyone would like to help out in any way, please let me know. If someone is fairly computer literate, it's easy to archive and set up the fresh board, and that's where I could use the most help. I hate to archive at 10 am when I get home from work, because people have started to post new threads by then. I could use some help recruiting new members too, if anyone is interested. Personally, I'm happy with a smaller group, but I think the board would flow better if we had a few more ladies here.

FYI: I am going to change the colors again. I liked the idea of the red, white and blue but the white letters are hard for some people to read, so I'll make adjustments today.

Hope everyone is having an awesome day! Feel free to post below if you have suggestions for the board. Oh! I've been wondering, too, do you ladies like the way the first message shows up fully on the main board, or would you like things to be more compact, with just the subject line showing unless you click on it?

If it gets busier and this format doesn't seem to work anymore then maybe think about a change then. Thanks for
all your hard work here. I emailed someone yesterday about
this board.

Waiting for a chiropractor update too!
Barbara :-)

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this board. Just not used to seeing the whole text of the first message, instead of just the subject line. I guess I'm waffling here, so I'll go with whatever everyone else wants. :)

As for archiving, could we possibly hold off on archiving for a day or two instead of doing it daily? That was one of my beefs with PP from the very start...anyone who posted in the evening had it gone again by the next morning. It would be nice if we slowpokes had a chance to answer things.

Otherwise, great job! I like this board, and I like the new color scheme!
