Possibly a way of keeping busy discussions visible? I think you can get a WordPress plugin that gives you a list of the ‘most commented’ posts. Possibly a way of keeping busy discussions visible?

Is there any easy way to set up a flag indicating most recent posts on the topics list and/or a recent posts list? Or do these things define a forum?

I understand your frustration. Maybe this blog will evolve into something bigger in the future. For now, we can make the best of what we have. Thanks MrTH. I understand your frustration.

No problem, as you wish, John, but I do find this format a little frustrating--once a topic drops down a bit, it's out-of-sight, out-of-mind, and it's very easy to miss replies to things. I also find the window-within-window difficult to use once the thread gets over a few posts long. But none of that will stop me from checking in here--the content is too good. Will stand on one foot and hold a hand over one eye if required. To paraphrase Mr Berra, if people don’t want to do it, how you gonna stop ‘em?

Mr TH, I think that there are already too many forums out there at the moment. Let's see how the other ones play out. Thanks Harvey for the vote of confidence.

I think that's why a lot of folks would like to see a forum set-up here. Maybe some sort of hybrid format, more tightly controlled than most forums, but more open and less linear than this.
