Archive
I've been trying to open the Archive for months. Every time I get this message:
HTTP ERROR 500
Is this going to be fixed? My use of this website has decreased dramatically because this is how I like to find new threads.
This page isn’t working
www.quiltingboard.com is currently unable to handle this request.HTTP ERROR 500
Is this going to be fixed? My use of this website has decreased dramatically because this is how I like to find new threads.

The New Posts button shows you all posts, whether you’ve already seen the thread or not, that have new posts in them. I personally don’t like clicking into threads I’ve already read. If I want to follow a thread, I subscribe to it, and I can click the User CP button in the upper left and see my subscribed threads and know which ones have new posts in them (those are bolded). I click the little symbol to the left of the thread title, and it takes me to the first response I haven’t seen. Using the User CP and Archive buttons, I can look at only new posts that I’m interested in, without having to scroll through pages of responses I’ve already seen. It’s a huge time saver. Right now I’m not seeing much of the board’s new activity because I don’t like scrolling through a bunch of stuff I’ve already seen. Maybe I’m lazy, but this is how I interact with the board and I don’t want to spend time doing 8t another way. I hope this gets repaired soon."

JennR8R ... Like you, I haven't been on the board as much, because of the Archives link not working.
Sure hope that the Admin people see your new thread and give us a positive response with some action.
CashsMom ... What I particularly like about accessing the board via the Archives link, is that I can check all the new threads as they are put up (or whenever I get to do so!). Then I either post to that thread or subscribe. That way I know I will see the follow-up posts as they happen. If it's a topic of which I am not interested, then I never see it again!

Although I do keep reminding myself this is a free board, so we really can't expect to have much influence on the decisions!
