Hello Trish,
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get back sooner.
Anyway, thanks for pointing these out. I know a lot of you
are not aware, but most of these are already featured here.
Just make sure you login first.
To the Admin,
1] Is it possible to have a GENERAL PAGE for all of the topics posted? Its because for us users, we can't immediately detect topic w/c has response... Same as Recent topic... What if a user didn't log-in for several days, the user will not see it?!?!?

What they need is to browse every sub categories for them to see.
I am not sure if we can have General Page for all topics posted.
There's a graphic on each category, that you see.
It's a black diamond.
When you login, you will notice, some categories
(Introduce Yourself, Culture Shocks at iba pa, etc...) are in
Light Mint Green color
graphic, which means New Topics or Replies were posted.
Light Mint Green denotes New Posts
Black denotes No New Posts
Inside each categories, there's a "New" balloon on topics with new reply,
or the new topic posted.
This is how to tell if there is a new posts or replies on each categories/topics.
To monitor replies to topics you're watching, simply click the button
"
Notify" so you will have automatic notification everytime someone reply or
post new topic.
Also, just below the main page of forum, you will see
Forum Stats.
Just click on "
View the 10 most recent posts on the forum"
to see the latest posts by fellow members.
to be continued...
