Hi Patrick. Why is it that I can't see my own threads in the Forum, unless, I query on my user name?

Thanks,

Dunnross.

Ah, wait: there is a rule that if a thread contains nothing except a link, then it goes in the "Link Submissions" forum. Did you check there?

I just posted to my own thread called: 10,000 people are turning 65 every day, while 54 and under are over 10% poorer And I don't see it at the top of the Forum. Neither does it appear in the "Link Submissions" forum. Can you pls. send the SQL query you are running for the Forum listing.

There are about 20 SQL queries every time you make a comment.

Turned out, I was posting to the "Miscellaneous Forum", and thinking that I was posting to the "Real Estate" forum. Maybe default should be "Real Estate", because, after all, this is a "Real Estate" blog.

If it gets crowded with off-topic threads I might put it back though. Please post other usability suggestions too!
