Is there one place to access this forum?
Or there multiple forums all over the place. How can see where the new posts are?
I feel like I'm looking at part but not all...and I'm not sure I'm in the right place.
I have to go in a group to get a forum...so am I seeing the forum for the 1 group?
Or is all groups?
I actually read a lot of the forum posts even if I don't respond...and now I 'm not sure if I'm doing this right.
Hey Tirz, the only forum that is something like the one we had on the old site--in that every member can automatically see it is this Classic one. It has no sticky headers like our old one did--but it is the only one that EVERYONE can see. He mentioned wanting to move away from the central forum theme so that we concentrate more on group functions. I too read posts and rarely respond to all because it helped me get to know new people, and keep up with old friends too. That won't change much as long as people keep posting on CLASSIC, but I have a feeling once groups really begin to take hold--classic won't be nearly as active anymore. Who knows, I hope I'm wrong. And I hope I didn't confuse you more

Thanks! That's how I feared it would work.
In the past, they could post in their own forum...but it was on the main page so I could read it...and often did. I found some great discussions (ones I didn't reply on) on technique, writing, book series.
Now I feel like I'll be blind to half the content of the site.
I hope people use the classic...but like you I feel they won't.
I also wish I could click on Forums form the main page...not to go into the group first.
Will the newbies ever find it?
LOL.

I have an idea....why don't you start a group called "OLD TNBW" and build a forum similar to what we had there. As the groups founder, you can build your own forums complete with stickies. You can make it open to join, and cost no points to post. Or are we just curmudgeons?
I'm a curmudgeon and I'm proud! Curmudgeons consider it their right to not have their applecarts jostled, and they return the favor.
Is there still a link back to the old TNBW forums? There was, but I've lost it. If the old forum archive still exists and anyone has that link and can post it; I'd appreciate it.
Much Appreciated!!
