Our hosting company has had to restart the mail service several times, especially when they clear out old files (when I post about board hiccups or slowness is generally when it's happened). Also, unsubscribing from the auction emails that are sent out has caused a few not to receive PMs.

Just a general question...How do most of you read Net54?

I have Net54 bookmarked to the main page. When I log on I hit New Posts and look through the threads. I ignore what I don't want to read and when I am done I go to quick links and hit Mark Forums Read. I find this way to be efficient and having lots of threads doesn't really bother me.

Do other people use Net54 differently?

I always click on the icons to go to the forums categories. I always start with the main home page forum on the far left. I start from the top and go down, clicking threads to read new posts, until there are no highlighted threads. The highlighted ones are ones that have new posts I have not read.

I don't think there is a huge problem currently.... Maybe you should go on a case by case basis when someone has ten threads they are bumping daily in one single section... I've seen it happen...

I feel like one for each of the individual B/S/T threads would be perfect.

Im sure I've missed it somewhere, but I think it would be very beneficial if there was a separate "Wanted" section. That will eliminate the WTB posts in the B/S/T section and ultimately have a smoother section to sell your items. Then you could click on the "Wanted" section and scroll down to see if you have what someone is looking for. Way easier..

Mixing the wanted and the selling portions all together can partially clog the section and will help those that only look to buy anyways.

Not saying it's really bad right now, just might be helpful..

I agree.I think a "Wanted" section is a great idea.Also if someone sells everything they have posted,can the posts be deleted?That would clear
up some room.
