Hello GBO Members, It's common knowledge that this Forum has lacked active administration for an extended period of time. ProBoards' management received an outpouring of demand from this Forum's membership for assistance. I have been appointed by ProBoards' administration to perform limited administrative functions and am grateful to have ProBoard's full support. CampKohler's effort in creating this Forum was substantial and is worthy of preservation. I'm committed to cleaning up the mess while respecting and replicating CK's operating philosophy as best I can. My top priorities at this time are to facilitate civil discussion throughout the Forum and to deal with spam and spammers. Please be patient as I work as time permits on the administrative backlog that piled up. Undoubtedly, there will be ideas for improvement of the Forum's operation. Here's a great place to bring things up for discussion but please avoid finger pointing at individual members. This is our Forum! Let's work together collaboratively to make it a fun place to hang out! GM |

Sounds like a great idea to me.
One minor suggestion if it is not too hard to do. Reverse the postings --- such as the last post shows up first. Then all one would have to do is just click on the topic and the latest post would come up first with earlier posts showing up below it.
Minor matter I know but it would be nice in my opinion.

Hi, goldie, thanks for your question. Sorry, I have no information regarding CampKohler's status. He did a great job starting this Forum and I hope he is well and wish him nothing but the best. I'm hopeful he'll return someday soon. |

Hi, flyboyut, thanks for your suggestion. I remember seeing thoughtful discussion of this subject somewhere but could not find it. If someone else remembers where it was, please pm me with a link. Update: gbo.freeforums.net/thread/29/newest-replies-first -- sent via PM. As I remember it, for a number of reasons, CampKohler was leaning strongly toward leaving things the way they are. My administrative permissions do not include that superpower but ProBoards' management has promised to help if needed. Update: Looking at the thread linked above, it appears that for a minute the order of replies was switched and then switched back. |

What CampKohler tried to do and could not do, was duplicate the old Gas Buddy forum feature that kept the originating post at the top of Page 1, but all other posts were in reverse order -- most recent first -- after the OP. GBO/ProBoards did not function in that way.
BTW -- thanks for stepping in! |

Can you change things so you have to be a registered user in order to send messages? We've had at least one person who left because they were being trolled by an anonymous user. Although I've noted that if you're not logged on and try to send a message, you get a message to log on or register.
