    1. Re: [BAd] Cleaning entire board
    2. Nan- Yes--I do this also and I do believe in the value of reviewing an entire old thread when a new post is added for the very reason that, obviously, if someone is posting a reply, the thread is still viable and of interest. This is the reason I prefer viewing the boards as admin in FLAT view -- it works best for us IMperfect human admins. <g> Joan ----------- So, I keep up with the current posts; and my preference, which I cannot *always* accomplish, is to clean the whole thread when a new post brings an old thread to the top. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Flat view may work best for you, but not always for me and other admins. If it's a thread that I've already reviewed, there's no value to me to view the thread in flat view -- that just clutters my screen and makes it harder to navigate in the case of a long thread. Like Dan, I'd rather review it in thread view, find the new post, then open that in a new window. I imagine there are also some admins that only review the threads that turn up in their Alerts (formerly Notifications) messages and just use the links contained therein. Lynne
