Critical Mass

[LostArrow]

We may have reached critical mass, the rate of adding new members is picking up!
I'm picking December 13 as the date we hit 200 members.

what i like is that it doesn't matter what you cook on.  thats the best part about us.  everyone is welcomed.  plus, we got all the cool kids on our team.

I hand picked the first 100 of you to create a nice, friendly community. And  regardless of my goofyness - it worked.
So, promise me that YOU - the LTBBQ members  - who are the truly "good guys" will  tell other good guys about the forum - the ones that you feel will share our values of "Food, fun and fellowship"

There are plenty of other forums that deal with issues which we all will agree are...well - not condusive to feeling like going to your buddy's backyard BBQ.  We just want to be sure that as we grow, we maintain the same feel that all of YOU have accomplished in building here. Just a good place to hang out and talk food and beverage with friends. That's it. No hidden agendas.

O.K. guys...GO GET "EM!!!!

I can honestly say - this is my favorite place to hang out...I am always learning from members. Oh, 'cept for Ka Honu...

I think we will get The Turtle to host a sensitivity forum section...either that or "Out Behind the Woodshed Grill Training"....

Good breeding and modesty prevent me from replying in the manner you deserve.

Now will you please tell me how to fix the "NEW" message feature so it takes me to the unread messages instead of making me restart every thread at the top?

How's Jack?  MeeMa Phyllis will be glad to baby sit him, if you ever get down this way.(Myrtle Beach area) She's got two great grand sons, so she knows a trick or two.

First make sure that your page is showing the LTBBQ Info Center as the last section on the index page. If it is not "expanded, and merely a one line entry, click on the little button on the far right side of the Info Center line.
As this opens, you will see all the recent posts.
As well - below Info Center, there will be a section called Forum Stats. There is a clickable link there called : "View the most recent posts on the forum"
Let me know if that does the trick for you.And - no Turtle.... I can't help you with opposable thumbs

Has anybody 'recruited' Deb or Susan?

[ThomEmery]

Did most of you know each other before this forum started?

from the "show unread posts since last visit" link
a list of posts will appear.
click on the word "new"
it will start at the first post instead of the last post I have seen.
Other SMF forums do this and go to the correct post.

Sorta.  Many of the early members came from other forums (fora?) - principally the Char-Broil- and Bradley-sponsored sites.
