see, that's where it gets a little foreign...i thought RECENT topics are topics i looked at RECENTLY...makes no sense but i appreciate the clarification----all looked Greek to me...

When I first joined the board in mar 09 there was a list of topics that were the most viewed. This was on the home page. As time went on it was changed into the recent topics page. It has the same purpose as most viewed. But the newer links were slanted to an individual use. so the recent topics became the most viewed topics and he added the new post feature that makes it a list of new posts you haven't read yet.

follow the way it progressed? so as soon as you have read it then you can find it again in your Topic Log which is now a personal log for each user seperating the recent topics from the personal log. confused you yet?

This is my understanding of the way it works. Topic log keeps track of the ones you have visited.

I have found that by only looking at the Recent Topics, I am missing things. So I kinda vacillate between trying to look at all topics (for the day) and only recent topics.

i try to read a little each day, but i just can't keep up---i spent waaaaaaay too much time on here today & got ZERO done today...i give up already!

Good info!
