Browsing the visitor stats for the site I came to a disturbing conclusion.
People just aren't using the active topics page enough.
It's the best tool here by far.

Here's what I do about a hundred times a day....

1. Go to the active topics page.
2. Ctrl-Click on all the topics you want to read so they open in a new tab. (Most browsers do that)
3. Go to the last tab and work backwards closing them as you're done.
4. When you get back to the active topics page click the Tutorial:-Making-Good-Use-Of-The-Active-Topics-Page button (top left) to mark them as all read.
5. If any topics updated while you were reading or posting, they will automagically pop up.
6. Lather, Rinse, Repeat until you're all caught up.

You won't miss a thing this way.

And as a bonus, when you're all caught up, you'll see a list of newly listed items on ebay from our established members (100 posts) only, complete with images.

Jbuck does it this way, so you know it has to be the best way.

Does this mean that the most recent topic summary that used to appear to the left of the main page (where 'Active Users' 'Stuff for Members' and 'New CCF Auctions' appear now) has gone Bobby?

I used to like that ... and now there's a big white space where it used to be.

Coinskelly is wondering why jbuck is referring to himself in the third person. That confuses coinskelly.

I would like the summary on the main page brought back also. It was what I used the most here.

That's back. We're troubleshooting to find the culprit that was pinning the server CPU at 95-100% all the time on the new server. We still haven't found it but we upgraded CPUs until we do.

That's been gone for a while. I moved it to the footer.

I'm going to have to remove those at some point for a bit to see if they're the culprit though.

When you say "gone for awhile", I know it was there just a few days ago...

I don't see it. It was one of the columns with a red heading on the left up to the day before yesterday.

Sorry folks, I completely forgot I let that stay on the forum home page. I *never* go there because I start on the active topics page. I just fixed it. I also added it to forum pages because they are long enough.
