I know a lot of folks would like a separate section for this topic, but I actually prefer the virtual section. It makes it so easy for a post from any other section to be linked in after the fact. I think we have the best of both worlds here - we can link in things from classifieds, main, pictures, etc. - and those topics are still visible in their real sections. Now that I understand the power of virtual sections, I think admin was a genius for dreaming this up.
The only thing is I am worried that we will lose all of the information if she has to purge the system. I wish it was its own section and then the search function would work in finding things that you wanted to look at like Darcene's FW or the American treadle, New york Singer and so forth.

I think that could be mostly solved if the search function would take you to the page(s) of the post with the phrase you're searching for. I also wish search would show the date of the initial thread and the date of the last post. I don't know why we've wound up with so many pages in this thread, instead of just starting new threads and linking them into the virtual section. Maybe it's time to move to a new shop (thread). That would make things a lot easier to find. Maybe clean house/move once a month? Put a link to the next thread in the previous thread and see if the old thread can be locked?
