Here's one thing I see as a problem with this forum. This is the 86th post on a thread that started back in June and still continues to run with a subject line that is irrelevant to current posts. I'm guessing that it is because many of us are hesitant to start new threads, but it certainly does make things a bit confusing.
I suspect that I am not alone in being unsure what the difference is between the first four major threads of the Rochester falcons section. (or are the called something other than threads at the higher level?)
I'm wishing that I could feel enthusiastic about it, but, try as I will, I'm still having difficulty. Of course, it does not help the forum, and acceptance of it, that there is relatively little to report right now, and that is nobody's fault. Perhaps all will start anew and with more excitement and joy, when the next season comes around.

The way I see it, Diana, is this is still a work in progress. I come to this particular thread to post pictures I've captured of Beauty & Archer and I see it as being relevant as long as they're there. All the smiley posts are in one place...panda posts...etc. unlike the "old" board (which I have not abandoned) which was one giant thread thousands of posts long. I've skipped the snakes thread because I'm just not interested, but all my Sheraton Toronto captures are in Rhea Mae's thread for those who choose to follow them.
It may make sense toward spring to tweak how this board is set up and what the main topics and threads are called once we see how everyone uses it. The Norfolk and IWS eagle boards open a new thread every day to report cam captures and discussion...maybe that will work here. Norfolk also has a thread just for live photos and another by one extremely dedicated watcher who posts a daily summary from all sources. One thing I do see is that the mods & admins are being flexible about moving and adding things as ideas come up (thank you all!)...we have all winter to figure out the best way for this forum to work going forward.
