I can see it... I just don't have any advice to offer you. The forum software seems to lend itself in that unless a topic catches on as getting a lot of replies, it quickly gets lost.

As much as I hate to become another griper, I do find this forum setup kind of miserable. It's just very difficult to keep track of new posts and what I have and haven't read.

All the other forums I frequent have all posts split up into separate sub-forums (near as I can tell, posts here all get dumped in the "main forum" and only additionally get put in a sub-forum if the poster chooses to). They also have things like "last post/last unread post" links, "mark all posts read" options, fully-functional searches (message bodies as well as thread titles), "show new since last visit", "show all posts by a user", etc.

All stuff that understandably a company with (IIRC) a home-brew setup that doesn't work on forum software full-time isn't likely to bother with, but greatly improves the useability on forum software designed by people who do program such things full-time. (shrug)

I make a topic, and it disap[ears to somewhere on page 3, every time. No one ever sees the topics I make. Ok so then I see topics are orgainzed by most recent reply.

Perhaps your topics are boring!!!! Just kidding!

I would put it down to the traffic - you may well be posting at peak times along with a veritable throng of others. Alternately, maybe no one has got any comments or anything to add.

I agree with Liz though, this isn't the best forum setup I've seen.... hmm... being totally frank, it's one of the worst! Still, the content makes up for it.
