Hi Adrienne,
Don't worry - it happens to the best of us! LOL. I didn't check one of my other forums for a couple of days and had approximately 150 messages waiting for me /images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I have good news for all of us here. In the new version of the software - when we move, the Private messaging functionality will be enabled for your usage. I will prepare a How to... guide for all of you, to make you at ease with the new features and ensure that you always make the most of what the forum has to offer.
As far as the Announcements is concerned, Beverly and I thought that it might be best for the Long Hair Care Discussion Boards category to be on top, since this is the main suject of this community. Also we don't make that many announcements, and taking for a fact that most users don't use high resolutions on their monitors - usually it will be set to 800x600 - the viewable area on your monitor is restricted and hence you won't need to scroll down every time to see what was said in the boards that interest you most. However, we can put a poll in this board concerning the location of each category and let the majority decide... /images/graemlins/wink.gif
NB: By resolution I mean how big or small things appear on your screen. Usually higher resolutions result to smaller letters on screen and hence a bigger viewable area. On a Windows system this can be adjusted by using Settings / Control Panel: Display Preferences.
Have fun
Nikos
