I am very new to the board, but do love the inital page choice! There have been many that I have been keeping track of, and is so nice to be able to click to where I last viewed right away! May be a 'minor thing', but is nice for the ease of use!

I miss the FT rating, but question it being rated just on number of posts (Doc comes to mind -- not picking on him personally, but as an example of numerous posts that while informative are not necessarily 'advice') I have been reading and reading, and have come to 'know' some posters, from their previous posts, but having different levels of 'member' helps to judge the weight of the advice, depending on the topic. I may jabberjaw in a topic, but have no qualification at an 'expert', or any level higher than a member just because I like to ask or talk -- and am horrified that I might be listed a a 'good source' of information just because I post. On the other hand there are some that have had few posts, but they give wonderful, helpful information (not to dismiss those that both post often and give great information!). Guess it really doesn't matter -- under the heading of 'buyer beware' of taking any advice -- but the designation levels were nice to know who was active (giver) and who was not.
(edited to correct spelling -- sorry about that!)
