If I understand the OP's original question, it involves the homepage and the section called Latest Posts DirtyWrat/LOTTOMIKE, I just asked Todd why I cannot get that to show 50 threads. You must have confused Latest Posts with forums. Here is Todd's response:QuoteThat option controls the number of topics displayed when you view a forum page. For example, the Pick 3 Forum. There is currently no way to adjust the number of threads shown on the home page.I will eventually add the ability for p... [ More ]

LOTTOMIKEThanks - exactly what I did. Both the very 1st time and earlier today. In fact earlier today, I played with different amounts (like 25). Nothing. It stays at 15. I refreshed page(s) and/or opened new pages. Still 15.

I tried just now again and the home page only shows 15. It works for standard members? Control Panel->Board Settings. Then what

Truecritic=If you think the list of current threads is too short you can make a change in the control panel from 15 to 50.50 threads on the first page should be sufficient.

I agree that might be the core of the problem - however, I don't believe you will stop it. Therefore, to devote more space to current threads is the only viable solution. Either remove the junk from the home page or to set up a dedicated 2nd page showing more current threads.

The only real solution is for people to realize that we are a community of more than 30,000 and when everyone is talking at the same time, nothing gets heard, especially when a handful are shouting .As I said before, it is just common courtesy. I'd like to see what everyone is saying, not just the shouters . And don't tell me to block some posters out.

Get rid of the news articles on the home page and use the space for a longer list of current threads. The list is too short anyway.

Em, from what I saw in this random check of the pick 3 threads, there are several to blame. To name them wouldn't do any good because they are obviously not taking the time to read other people's posts, just their own.There was one example a while back of a poster making 23 posts in 30 minutes. How could one possibly read 23 threads and make a meaningful response to each of them in 30 minutes? I'm sure there's even a better example of posts vs. time but I don't have that kind of time to read non... [ More ]

One poster has 6 threads, each for different states and in a 17 minute time span the last response to all 6 threads are from the poster and 4 of those responses were the only response to the thread.A lot of separate one number predicti...

To put it simply, if your name occupies half the threads 'last posts' on each and every page then you are posting too much.If you are at a party having a conversation with 30,000 people and every other sentence is coming out of your mouth then you are monopolizing the conversation.If the shoe fits, either wear it or put it in your mouth.The bottom line is profit, not talk....and what better place to prove that than the prediction boards.

You are not only selfish but needy. You require to be the center of attention. People like you get married two and three times. That's the reason you posts so many threads on Vtracs. You can't post like everybody else, in moderation.

That's a very good reason for posting all picks to the predictions board, not the forums. Serious players care most about the DATA, and putting everything on the predictions board lets people work with the DATA. The forums are good places to discuss the systems, pairs, vtracs, or whatever went into creating the picks, and the predictions board is the place to post the final end results: the number themselves.The forums are not a very good place to post the numbers, because anyone wanting to tra...

I don't see other posters posting up to 10 posts back to back. How can you skip a post when they are different titles from the same poster. I gladly skip them but sometimes the choices are few because the other posts are pushed off the main page.The average poster run about 2 threads a week not 10 at a time and they don't post them back to back and push the other posts off the main page.
