Hm. I don't recall giving my birthdate when signing on.

No cake for me.

This is a surprise of a different nature, but I couldn't see starting a new topic just for this.

Has anyone else noticed the listing of topics for August is now in multiple pages? It seems to me that this is a good way for some topics to be left at the wayside, or have multiple folders created for the same topic. That is, it's easy not to notice that there is already a folder for something if it is on the second or more pages of listing.

Is this a setting of YaBB that can be altered?

Does anyone else feel the same way, or is it just me?

<br>I noticed this, too. I suspect that people may start redundant threads (duplicate topics) because they don't realized that there are more comments just over the horizon; or may fail to see topics that might interest them for the same reason. On the positive side, if one adds a post to one of the Page 2 topics, it gets rotated to the top of Page 1 (and something else falls off the edge of the world) ...<br><br>Robert M.<br>
