I know I'm a new member in the Older Mom's community forum but I still have some suggestions to help improve our friendly forum. I hope it's okay with the rest of the moms.

1. I think that threads should be sorted from “latest” to the “oldest” and not the other way around. This is so that when members and visitors click on a forum section, they would see the latest updated thread first instead of the oldest.

 
2. Whenever I click on “Save New Post” or “Save New Topic” an error message always appears. The new post or thread will only be created when I click it again.

 
3. I think that there should also be a section for “Help and Suggestions” and also for “Admin Announcements”. I didn't know where to create this new thread for suggestions so I just made in under “Older Mom's Lounge”.

Anyone finding the site slow to load today? I'm having trouble adding posts.

ETA Just  ignore me, I rebooted and it magically worked fine this time so it was at my end.

*kicks computer*

I just got this problem today.. it seems that I can't logoff from our community forum. When I clicked on the logout link, it gives me the error below. I had to totally close down my browser so I can be logged off.

Not Found, Error 404

The page you are looking for no longer exists. Perhaps you can find what you are looking for by searching the site archives by page, category, or month.

Thanks, ladies! I noticed Julia had put up a new picture on the main page (don't miss the wee one in his Santa hat! ) so she may well have been tinkering at that time. I've not had that myself but will pass it on.

Wow! The baby's really cute. Just want to go and bite Julia's baby.

By the way, I just noticed that the threads are already sorted from latest to the oldest! Thanks a lot Julia and Kay! At least this would make things a little bit better in the forums.

Here's another one. I had wanted to create a new thread in the Freebies section but I don't see the “Add a New Topic” link there.

funny, I was going to mention it too - I can't reply to posts in there either.  I figured it was an “informational” section

Any updates on the issue regarding the Freebies section?

As I am unable to reply under the 'Freebies' section, I hope it's ok to do it here. I love both wallpapers, Kay! They are beautiful! In fact, I had set the 'Santa gazing in the mirror and seeing himself as a child' as my desktop wallpaper! Thanks for sharing!

This is the link I'm referring to:

I meant to mention, I figured out today that you can use the quote function by doing it in the HTML side with blockquote tags. For anyone unfamiliar with that, here's how.

1. Click the HTML button above in the text box.
2. A HTML source editor box will pop up. Add <blockquote>then insert your quoted text in here and close it with another tag, not forgetting the extra “/”</blockquote>
3. Hit “Update” at the bottom left. That will bring you back to the normal post window.
4. Add anything else you want to say and save your post as normal. The quote should be there.
5. Do a victory lap around the room for being so smart.

LOL, well obviously I didn't exactly rush to do that myself either diane. Lucky for you guys I'm so community minded and shared that otherwise I could have kept that all to myself and made you jealous. :p

Did I mention it's my birthday in two days btw? I expect cards and commiserations LOL.
