I really don't care for spreading the posts out thru multiple forums. I didn't like the announcements format, now buy/sell makes it even more tedious to stay current.
I believe in keeping it simple. To see the height of absurdity, go look at the multitude of forums at scotts site. I made it known in the beginning that it was too complex, but it has only gotten worse with time. I have NEVER viewed posts or posted replies in most of his forums. Their loss....
Also, when in the announcement posts, the message list button in the header does not link to the main forum like it does everywhere else.
