I just wanted to let you know about two new updates to the forums this week. One is here already, the other hopefully will debut later today.

1) For those of you who would prefer to view more topics in the left-hand column and on the subsequent browsing pages, there is now a way to elect to view 50 or 100 topics at a time. To change this setting, click "account settings" at the top of the page; you'll need to already be signed in. After re-entering your password, there will be a page of options---on the bottom right hand side there is a box for Forum Preferences for you to choose to view 25, 50, or 100 topics.

You may find that the page loads slower for you if you opt to view more topics though it should speed up over the course of your visit as the page caches.

2) We will shortly be introducing time stamps that display your local time (instead of ET across the board); that means that the time displayed next to each post will be in your time zone. This feature is based on your browser/computer's time settings. This is a feature that is basically "turned on"---so it may seem like a slight time warp if you're on when we flip the switch.

Thank you for your patience and feedback over these last several months; should you experience any trouble with these changes or have suggestions please write to us at [email protected].

Best,
Katie

Thanks Katie. Those are nice features.

This is awesome, Katie! Thanks!

I just noticed when I click on View all United States Activity and the list of the postings displays in the middle of the screen -- that the date of the most recent response is actually the date when the original post was started. I assume this is a bug??

Awesome, Thanks as always

I love that Fodors actually has people...not just computers. Thanks for the update.
P.S. Its 3:13 MST!

As martym pointed out, the time shown on the first post is the original date of the posting. Very confusing. I hope this is a bug also??

TTT for the evening crowd.

Thanks, Katie. I like 50 topics much better than 25.

Topping for the Wednesday crowd...know topics sink quickly in this forum...

TTT for the weekend crowd

TTT for anyone who missed this announcement last week

Thanks, Katie. I like the changes.
