For the Hot Deals Forum, how about a sticky index to the "Official" threads? Without an index, I don't even know many official clearance, coupon and FAR items threads are buried out there and how many deals I have missed because they were posted to one of those threads instead of starting a new thread.

Suggestion:

Place radio/local only contests in it's own folder. When I go to the contests page, the first page or so is almost completely contests or sweepstakes for San Diego radio stations. Me being not from San Diego, find this worthless.

Thanks.

Once I've searched a topic and found my answers, I'd like to go back to the topic, either first or last page, without going back to the forum topic list and clicking on the topic heading again.

Is there a way to do this that I haven't noticed? If not, could you add it?

Is there a way to do this that I haven't noticed? If not, could you add it?Sorry, I'm not completely following you. Where would you be at when you want to navigate to first or last page of a topic already visited? If you can help me understand, I'll get an answer for you Say I'm in this topic (FW Member Suggestions). I use the search box to look for the word "ignore." I get a document (?technical term?) of all posts with the word "ignore." Now I want to leave that "ignore-only" document and go back to the full FW Member Suggestions thread, which is where I started, so I can read other posts. Is there a way to go directly back to the full Suggestions thread without going to Forums - Topic List - Suggestion thread?

footn200 said:An on-site "Back" button? (Following your scenario, I right-clicked and chose "back")Thanks. I guess that was just to easy for me to think of.

...and 60 seconds to fix my spelling mistakes... seriously, no one uses the preview button...Or a spellcheck built into the system for us dyslexics who can't see a typo even if we use preview.

The last time I requested a spellcheck some kind soul told me of a spellcheck program I could download & use with FW. Unfortunately, it totally creashed my computer.

There was a period after the upgrade when one-click subscription was enabled that allowed me to subscribe to the current thread without taking me to my list of active subscriptions. Was that disabled for a reason and if so, can it be made an option in our preferences?

I know this has been brought up before, but I am going to suggest it again.

Many new threads in FWF are not appropriate. Long time members who ignore
the FAQs get what they deserve, but new members are sometimes being
hung out to dry. New members should be blocked from starting a new topic
with a notice that says something like this:

New members are not allowed to create new topics at this time.

Please consider making your post in one of the existing threads, such
as the Flame Free Zone, the Tax Q & A, or the What Credit Card should I get....

If you still feel that you must create a new topic please do
something something something, and you may be allowed to create one.

Is the newbies category going to be flame free?

I don't want to ignore all of the newbie posts, and I think FWF and the new members might be better served if they were forced to follow the rules. Many new posters get red for their post, which they don't understand, get sarcastic responses which they don't understand, and end up with, in my opinion, the wrong idea about FWF.
