Of course, same rules apply to the blog as posts, most notably, no frickin' Life Insurance spam.

Which do you prefer as the default view of the Forum, the Recent Discussions tab or the Categories tab?

I like the Recent Discussions tab as it gives you a very quick look at what's happened since your last visit, if anything. With Categories, you have to scroll down to see what's up.

I vote for recent discussions.

Recent Discussions is fine with me as long as we still can find the others. I was looking at the Suicide thread and my sceen shows a first to last order, though this thread shows last to first (which I prefer). Is there, or will there be, a user setting for that like before? And my wife wants to know if there is a way to not get email notifications when someone posts. Do you think it's alright to pet on the first date as long as both people are consenting adults?

Link at the top, link on the side, link in your profile.

I will note though that one thing I miss is the "view unread posts" feature that just lined them all up so you could read them quickly along with the Mark Posts read so you didn't have to read stuff just to get it marked read, if you know what I mean.

Good point. I will have to see what options I have when there is an unread post.

There is a Mark ALL Forums Read option available from the main category view, and a Mark Forum Read available from each category.

I've already run into one instance of the Recent Discussion tab confusing someone. At least I'm guessing that was the problem. They could not find the Midway Forum.

Below are notes on Blogs, Galleries, Avatars, Signatures & More:

Member Galleries

Every registered Bressler.org member has access to their own Gallery section that they can choose to use, or not.

The Gallery is here. The Member Galleries are here. Both are linked in the top pull-down menu.

If you select 'User Panel' from the top left of the Gallery, this will give you options to edit/add files to your gallery, as well as the 'Image Dump'. I believe you can also add sub-galleries to your personal gallery. Personal Galleries are for personal photos. Image Dump is typically for humor/entertainment garbage (hence 'Dump').

Anything you had on the old Photopost Gallery AND/OR the old VBulletin Member Galleries has been moved here.

Recent Gallery photos and/or recently commented photos display on many site pages, as do random Image Dump uploads.

Member Blogs

The old member blogs are still available, from the 'Blogs' pull down menu at the top.

Since there has been no activity for many moons, I've removed some the supporting applications, however, any established members may still have a personal blog and contribute items that may appear on the Bressler.org Front Page.

Contact me if you have an interest in being a contributor.

Avatars, Signatures, Subscriptions, Post Sorting

These can all be changed in Forum Settings, which is linked from the top Forum pull down and from a tab on your Profile.

If you're getting email notifications that you don't want, your answer is probably in here.

If it was Stibroker, remember he doesn't even know how to read.
