KidsHappen Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I actually thought that people would be quite interested in this as we have discussed it many times previously. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15247 Oh well.

Sweetpeach Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Cornerstone, I truly think it's the new board format . . . I don't read nearly as many posts now as I used to on the old board, and post even less. I think your story was very cute! Even if people don't respond to my posts, I'm generally happy just to have a forum! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretchen in NJ Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I tought it was a great question. I'm sorry I missed it the first time around.:D It did get me to thinkin' maybe there are uses for all of that air.;) Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Oh, it happens to everyone at some point. There have been times when I thought I had an interesting topic, but no one else did. Oh well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Me Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I think, like others have said, it is the new format. I pop in every now and then during the day, and often feel like I have missed some great discussions because the first page changes so quickly. FWIW - I really thought your idea is a very good one, and I am sure my kiddos will be very happy to try it!! :thumbup: I, on the other hand, am only eating my Reese's bunnies this year. YUM!!

Gailmegan Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 At least you had some responses. I posted a curriculum question a few days ago. I bumped it when it got to page 4, to give it another chance. No one replied at all. I agree that it is very hard to stay on top of posts the way this board is set up. How were the old boards different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I did not reply cause we always get solid bunnies.. no place to put the milk.:willy_nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornerstone Classical Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I thought it was so funny though because of the other LLLLOOOONNNGGG thread about being a thread killer.:tongue_smilie: Just to clarify, I am looking for laughs not sympathy:p!

Just Me Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 On the old board, you could scroll down reading topics and everyone's reply line. You could then choose to click on a reply to read further. It was so much easier to see, rather then having to click on every topic in order to read the replies. That said, I do like this format, because disagreements seem to be more private and not a huge board issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 One of the nice things about this format is that even when people don't respond to your thread, you can see how many have read/opened it. For instance here. I thought it would be interesting to hear what others think. As of now no one has responded, but 43 people have read it or at least opened the link. Who knows why? But I find that more gratifying than on the old board where you had no idea how many people (if anyone) even bothered to notice your post.

Cornerstone Classical Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yeah, I agree the old boards were more converational. But I do like all the smilies and extras. I know that it helps me get my "tone" across better than the old board.:001_smile::001_smile::001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one replied at all. I agree that it is very hard to stay on top of posts the way this board is set up. How were the old boards different? Can you send a link to the post? Sometimes the people who are online at the time truly don't have an answer, and then the question rolls on down to a lower page. Sometimes it all depends on the day of the week or the time of day.

Gailmegan Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Here's the link - the only responses are my bump and someone saying she had no idea. LOL http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*anj* Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hmmmm....I wish I could answer, but I haven't a clue. Maybe that's how the others felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gailmegan Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I figured. I was surprised though b/c it's one of the sources VP uses to go along with their history program and i have seen that a good number of people here have used VP history. thanks for bumping it, maybe someone who has used it will see.

Cornerstone Classical Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 We should be the "Thread Killer Crusaders" . Searching to and fro on the WTM Hive saving one lonely thread at a time...:tongue_smilie::smilielol5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Here's the link - the only responses are my bump and someone saying she had no idea. LOL http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14378 Maybe you should repost and mention timeline figures. I had to google to find out exactly what you were talking about. At first I thought you might have meant Christine Miller's book list. You should get more of a response if you ask about time line figures that people have used - (I haven't used any yet - so I can't respond - but I would be interested in the responses to such a thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyboys Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 But things fly by so fast that I don't have time to open up all the previous pages to look for interesting things. I do miss being able to scan through a couple days' topics really quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
