Thanks for the info guys, I will definitely be more attentive when posting new threads, thanks to the Mods for all there hard work...
Just so I'm clear on this, in order to catch up on everything we'll need to scan all 16 forum sections.
I'd been enjoying pipes and cigars for many years before I found this forum. I have to say that it's very cool to have a place to share my thoughts on pipe carvers, tobaccos, and related stuff with people who are like-minded. AND it's great to read thoughts from other smokers, to get new insights into this centuries-old world! That is one of my most intense interests; to learn about pipes and carving from hundreds of years ago. --nv.
New threads show up automatically no matter what section in the bottom of the screen. I notice a lot of pointless threads started about nothing, when you could just add to an existing thread, or simply search first. I've found alot of info using the search feature so I don't have to start a thread asking a question. You can simply bump that old thread to say you used it and appreciate the tip. It's forum etiquette in the internet world, and the internet is serious business.
I think it is important to enter posts under the appropriate sub-forum. Here's why. Just today, I found something
relating to a specific brand of high end pipes that I wanted to pass along to the originator of a post on the subject.
The post had passed off the list of posts recently responded to, but when I went back to the subtopic where this should
have been posted, it wasn't there. I wasn't going to scroll through the entire list of subtopics, so I just dropped the whole
effort. But that's kind of too bad. Forums is supposed to be about communication, and not every piece of information
comes to hand immediately. So help out your fellow Forums members and take a minute to enter your post under the
appropriate heading. It might pay you back in information or assistance down the road! Not every effort to impose some
order is picky-fussy. (Some one needs to help me organize my study, but that's another subject.)

Not from me you won't, Roth. I might also add that I now ignore posts with deliberately cryptic titles, which in my opinion are usually attention-seeking devices to disguise poor material. The best titles should clearly state what the topic is about.
If I wanted to ask members if anyone remembers anything regarding my Uncle Royal Aten former owner of Darby pipe shop from Mattoon, Illinois which forum would I choose?
It really depends on how you word it. General Discussion is more open to different types of responses. If you have pictures or just want to riminess you could use tobacciana History or Pipe tobacconist/B&Ms.
Hey guys, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to bold my headings and have tried google and YouTube but to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction so I don’t make more work for the moderator. Much appreciated.
Is bolding required?
If so, if you are typing and it isn’t bold, tap the big bold B in the upper left corner.
Bolding is automatic; no further toil required. It will turn to proper type face when posted, not in Edit mode. BTW, all caps are a no-no.
Click on the Forums drop-down, and then go to “New posts.”
Who has the least offenses about this subject. i would be willing to bet is me and MSO. I think a cruise would be a fair prize for all the work we spend on this subject. Norwegian Cruise line is my preference. And pleas make sure you sign up for the booze package, well worthit if you are drinking at least bucks a day 50/
Use capitals in titles or buy the booze package?
