I am happy to report that Jordi has increased the number of posts in the "Last Postings" box by adding a scroll bar. Now there are many more postings listed in this box, such that multiple postings for the same thread do not occupy most of the space there. In my view this is a very useful and helpful change, and I congratulate our fearless leader for making it happen. I hope that he will get lots of positive feedback from our regular visitors.

Hi all !

I think it´s interesting that I explain you a little bit more the proposed change by John S. White in the "Last postings" box.

Before the change, the box was fixed and only showed 7 messages, but now the box has a scroll bar that allow to see up to 25 messages, with a fixed messages at the end ("For lists of newest topics and postings click here") that direct to the same page that "Newest topics and users posts".

The duplicity between links "For lists of newest topics and postings click here" and "Newest topics and users posts" is due to the following reasons:

Visitor´s can´t see the first link until the scroll down reaches the end.
According the opinion of some administrators many visitors don´t understand exactly the use of the second link (fixed one)

Due to this we decide it was better leave it repeated.

Regards,

Juan H
