    Time for a status update to see if anyone is having any issues or if there are things which need improvement:

    1. Anyone have any problems to report in their use of the forum?
    2. Any issues on desktop or mobile sizes?
    3. Any issues with the themes?
    4. Any features you would like to see added?
    5. Any other general comments or suggestions?

    I have to say that I think things are operating pretty smoothly at the moment, and I am not aware of any major issues. Seems like for me sometimes the notifications don't take me to the most recent new post, a problem that was reported earlier and may not yet be fully resolved. But generally things seem to be operating smoothly.

    Can't promise to be able to address all suggestions immediately, but can't even consider them if we don't know what they are. So please feel free to let us know if there are any issues and we will see what we can do to address them over time.

    Thanks for your participation at EpicureanFriends.com!

    Changed the title of the thread from “Status Update on EpicureanFriends Forum Technology” to “Status Update on EpicureanFriends Forum Technology And Use”.

    It seems to me that the "conversations notification" is not very noticeable, and then when a member logs onto the forum very quickly, they don't notice that they have received a private message.

    I sent a message and it shows that the person was "online" but it still shows that they did not read my message.

    This happens with new members in particular, it seems.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
