    OK - fair comment.

    However - what happened to the options to custom define this view for each user? Perhaps the overhead was too great?

    It seem though, that the General Chit Chat forum is defunct as when posting items to it, there is a few rare chance people will view/respond. Which may lead to other users posting in inappropriate forums just to get a response......

    I think this is worth discussing What are your thoughts JP?

    Hi CTO,

    Seasonal greets to you...........watching your turkey sweat in the mid-summer sun

    I remember that facility, and thought it very useful.............but I suspect it was a hack?

    I hope your fellow countryman (HYBR¦D) reads this thread, as he seems very much clued up to what is possible with our standard management software?

    Right now we have about 6 inches of snow.................global warming ?????

    That was a hack of the old software, it went when we upgraded the forum. We couldn't go on using a 5 yr old version that was no longer supported by vB.

    If the community at large wants chit chat back on the front page, I have no problem at all with putting it back there
