It would be very helpful to me if the opening page in each thread started with the most recent message to be sent. Currently the oldest message ever sent in a thread is at the "top" and the most recent message may be on "page 56"! If the most current popped up when a thread was opened, we could go straight to reading what we have missed - rather than all the scrolling Thanks!
If you will look at the row of numbers below a thread, you can click on the highest number (say there are 56 pages of responses on a thread.. click on the number 56 and it will take you to that page so you can start reading there.) It saves on a lot of scrolling. We are limited by the parameters of Proboards. We are working on changing to a different message board for next year that has a lot more features.

If you click the "new" icon to the left of the Subject in the thread list, it will take you to the first post made since you last logged in. You can then read in order.
Also, while not very obvious, if you click the date above the last poster's name on the right side, it will take you to the last post in a thread.

I wuz just wonderin' ... If next year there could be a "veterans" page. I know there are a lot of mares that we all watched last year as well as this year and probably will watch next year. Some had wonderful success, some tragedy. I think it might be interesting to follow up on mares we have grown to love! MSA's would really enjoy. Newbies would learn. Maybe on the due date page, there could be a notification that the mare is a "Marestare Veteran", and would be even nicer to have a little history...maybe provided by the owners? Just something else for the mods to ponder and for Rich to execute!!!

There are so many mares now that I forget some of them when there was an issue they had last year. Either good or sad it would be nice to know what one it was. (Oldhimmers sitting in here) lol

I have a suggestion to start a new section for those who need nursemates or have nursemates so people could come to MS and post.
I have seen people post on other sites but no one has a dedicated area to do this.It will give everyone a central area to come to when this is needed.

I love the nursery page. My suggestion would be to expand it a little and have a section dedicated to the Angel Foals and Mares. I love watching the babies being born and I watch them for a few hours after birth because they're just so darn cute. But then I lose track of them for a few days and when I go to check on them, I'm stunned to see the baby has crossed the rainbow bridge. I just think they deserve to have their own section.
Or maybe create a Memorial Section honoring the mares that have passed during the year. Even if they haven't foaled this year, a lot of people will remember them and would probably like to express sympathy on their loss.

i've been active on the marestare board for a while now and have just thought of something that i think would make it easier. i know that most barn owners use their barn names as their name on here but for those that don't could the name of their barn/cam be put in their signature?? it's probably something that each member would have to do on their own but i think it would make things easier when scrolling through posts knowing who belonged to what barn. (or rather what human belongs to each mare!!)

I love the marestare store. What would you think about having some items with differnt breed pictures on them? Owners or viewers could submit pictures of thier horse, with or without thier farm name. Or maybe even some of the mares or foals. Some of these mares and foals have really touched our hearts. I think having them on a T-shirt or mug to see everyday would be awsome.

I thought of this while going through Shinas pages to find updates
Could we have the updates put on the first post where we get the information on the mare like could they put
~~~~~Update 6/15 (or whatever the date is)

No, we want to keep the updates in chronological order. If you want to pick up on a thread where you left off, click the icon next to the thread title. This will take you to the first unread post since your last visit to the board. The new message board will have this feature also, along with additional features regarding unread posts. Also, if you want to quickly find updates posted by the farm owner, just click on their name and go to their profile. There you will find their latest posts.

when I go to the different threads to read and I want to go look at the cam, I have to search for the page with the cam link on it (which is usually on page one) but that means going to that page and then back again........ Ok is there a way to put that link at the top of the page maybe in a box just under the thread name itself so no matter what page you are on the cam link is there too. Would make it so much easier to click on........

I will look into that but right now I know of no way to do that on this or the new message board.
