The "stickies" seem to be helping but I agree there can be a point where too much is too much. I check it daily and will continue to try to get the hest mix so we can find our very popular threads easily.

One big thing we must all do -- look and think -- before engaging keyboard; find the appropriate thread and add to it. Begin a new one only if needed.

There are just too many threads about the same thing. Particularly so in the case of wheels, tires, etc. I recently combined two threads on Blue Tooth that were going off in divergent ways but both had excellent info that shouldn't be so hard to find. Take a look at the "Active Topics" listing and see what I mean.

Have you tried to use the "view new posts" search just under your log on name each time you enter the board? That not only will list all new posts since you were last on, but also will list the stickies first, making them very easy to find.

Also, go into the Control Panel and turn on the feature whereby you can have the board notify you by e-mail of new posts to your subscriptions. You'll find that to be very worthwhile.

Another quick way to locate threads is to go to the Welcome Screen (where you arrive on the board) and go to each category. Note that they are in heavier print. Hit each one in any order. You'll receive a screen which will list all threads in every such category, stickies first. That should answer any problems about location of threads.

Appreciate your comments. Hope these comments helped your movement around the forums.

On FAQ's, I agree they are needed as are Rules and some kind of reminder upon entering to check them and FAQ's. They are being designed and are coming.

Good ideas, both, and thanks for the input.

Please keep me posted; we aim to please, but above all, to make locating threads and their info easier.
