Update as I go along building a message board for you.

[Mike GadgetGeek Stock]

Here is hoping that we together can build a safe landing place for foodies here in Atlanta and elsewhere to talk about the food they cook at home, and to review the places they eat, and to further discuss whatever we all can be comfortable with. I am NOT a pro at this, and some things will change rapidly initially until I get a feel for how this all works.

But here goes.   Know from the outset that I DO LIKE message boards and encourage both banter and serious talk about anything.  Let's all stick with the Categories and Threads until we flesh this whole thing out and get up and moving.  I/we have some interesting ideas about some things we can add on down the road to make this both an interesting read and a tool that you can use to decide where to go and eat out. We will only succeed with your help.

Let none of us get too far off course, or too far off the thread, and please review your posts.  Be adult about all of this and we will get along fine.  I am working on a Mission Statement, and posting guidelines that we can all live with.

Please submit any suggestions here or by PM to me or the Admin or Moderators.

In agreement with another poster, perhaps the names of the restaurant sections can be modified. I suggest slimming down to:

Metro Atlanta
Rest of Georgia
Rest of the World

How's it look now?

Ah much easier.

All we need is Atl61 to come out of retirement and we've come full circle.

You da man.

Except maybe every BOA/Lower Chattanooga thread currently squatting in "Rest of Georgia" I'd put in Metro. That would be all of them. I don't think we've had a post on a place outside the metro area.

Maybe Foodgeek will pass that along ...

Okay, okay...   a long time ago I had a big file folder and it was labeled "stuff".  Those folks that know me understand why I like to compartment things.   I moved 'em all.  I may not be as fast all of the time, but you had/have my attention today.

On the main forum page, why bold the "Last post" words? It gets distracting with the bold of "Last Post" on all the threads, and "Today" or "Yesterday" on some of the posts.

just me?

[geonuc]

just me?

I guess so - they're still bolded!  

[Jmolinari]

HAH.

[CodePoet]

I am not sure that they are bolded by intent but more by system default.  We haven't figured out all the nooks and crannies of the software especially the design aspect. Hopefully, I will have a bit more time after the holidays to figure it out.

I sent her a message a couple of days ago. Maybe she'll stop in for a visit, if she's not too busy being brilliant at her profession.

Why is the default setting such that when you make a post, you go immediately back to the post index for the category, instead of going back to look at the thread where you just made your post?

It's not a necessary change, but I do kind of like to make one last look at my posts after they are posted to check for errors, but with this setting I'd have to re-click on the thread to go back and look at it.

Still, isn't it great to be able to edit posts?  

Edited to add: Gadgetgeek, you need to set a limit to how long people can edit or remove their posts. 2 days is fine.

You can change it to return to the thread. There's an option in your profile.

Check the box labeled: Return to topics after posting by default
