All,
I've added some sponsored links served by PSclicks.com. They are located on topic pages on the right side below the "Latest Posts" section.
These links will hopefully help support the cost of the forum, so please click them from time to time and see what's at the other end!

So what's "coming soon" in the top left corner of the page?

Should be gone now? I think I had a badly formed comment area.

I'm not seeing it either
But my Ad-Blocker might be hiding it... I'll check that.
****** edited: I see it now, Ad-Blocker was preventing the scripts from running.

I think you might be missing something. Rick is talking about the bottom right side of the screen, scroll down. I'm talking about the upper left corner of the screen, what was there shouldn't have been, I guess, and Rick removed it.

Good deal, Rick. Probably would not have noticed unless you pointed them out...
I will be clicking all of them.

Now I can see those sponsored links. Good place for them in the upper right, Rick.

Not sure that I like how the RSS Latest Posts is moved down the page over there. I've got a request in to the ad guys (psclicks.com) to get the sponsored links single-spaced or 1.5 spaced instead of what looks like triple spaced in order to squeeze the top ads into a smaller space.

I thought about that too (Latest Posts being moved down) but I read all the new posts anyway so pay them little attention. Not sure about others though. I always follow the red sight reticles along the left anyway.

Is there another way, besides looking at the new ones on the right, to find all the newest posts that I haven't read already? It used to be a longer list (I thought) with more new posts. If I were gone a while I could see all the ones I missed and the color cchange showed me the ones I had read already. Now it seems a shorter list and I am missing some posts. Btw, I know you need to make money (I've clicked on some links already) but it is a little frustrating to have to scroll down to get to the post list. Am I spoiled or what?!? LOL

At the top of each post right under the post title, you will see two links like the following:
* Subscribe topic • View active topics
If you click the "View Active Topics" link, you will be presented with all of the currently active topics - i.e., everything that has been actively discussed in chronological order - newest at the top.

No need for an apology. I actually use the right menu a lot more than I use the "View Active Topics" link. But that may change, depending on what I decide to do with the right side of the site.
Always good to hear feedback. Thanks!

The sponsored links at the top of the right column are now single-spaced so that they don't take up as much room and you can now see the "Recent Posts" box with a little less scrolling.
I hope that works for everyone!
Don't forget to click from time to time and check out what our sponsors have for you!
