Tim, I read the board most everyday, sometimes I get to it early in the day sometimes late. I always read the 10 most recent posts to see what is new.With all the great activity picking up on the board, I find that I can miss a lot of good comments that have rolled off if I have checked too late. Is there anyway to expand the "Most Recent Posts" list, so I can choose how far back I want to read? You are just so popular now !!! ;D Keep up the great work and thank-you to all the moderators for their work.

Michael, thanks for the kind words about the board,and I`m glad you`re still amongst us. There is no way to expand the most recent posts feature, unfortunately. Sorry,I wish I could as it would definately be better but that`s all the company offers in this regard. That just means that you`ll have to read through the different categories, thus spending more time on the board. * hint hint*

Tim, It is not that I did not believe you, I just know there is always a backdoor in these systems. I found a way I would like to share if anyone else has the same problem I had. Go to the search screen. Leaving all the defaults as they are: 1. leave "search for" blank 2. "more options" -set to search all posts, then leave the space following it blank 3. leave all topics checked ( or limit to topic you want) 4. choose # of days you want to go back (2 will cover current day) if you choose 200 listings, you will get the last 200 listings in order of postings, right now that will go back a couple of days worth I have not finished playing with the logic of it, byt I am sure you can fine tune this procedure evan more. But it really is just two quick changes from the default settings of that page.

Michael, I was never implying that you didn`t beleive me but I had no clue you could do what you just described.
My computer knowledge is VERY limited trust me.
The first time I ever even got on a PC was when I moved here about a year and a half ago.
I am computer illiterate for the most, part unless it`s a very basic procedure.

Michael, thanks a lot. I just tried the procedure you suggested using the "search" feature and got 200 past posts. Thanks again,I had no idea you could do that.

Tim, Believe it or not, I know what you mean about computer illiterate, I am a computer programmer, BUT only on a mainframe system (dinosaurs in today’s world), but feel illiterate on PC’s, and down right ignorant on web development. So I am very impressed with your web developments, posting etc, because I am clueless on it. (rather spend my nights lifting, then in front of the PC learning something new, like I have to spend my days LOL !!!!)

There have been much more than 200 great posts, Michael. So I would still take Tim's suggestion and troll the board!

Thanks Gerryt, I have been reading them for sometime now, I just like to keep up with all the new daily posts, I remember when you could see the whole days worth in just 10, but now, you need more, so I wanted to find a quick way to review just the current days new posts which I check almost every day and not miss anything. The search option works great for this. You guys have done a great job in keeping the board active and helpful with great advice.
