I don't plan to change the forum very much at all. In fact, most of the major changes have already been made! :D
I do plan on encouraging more people to visit and contribute. And I do plan on starting a sister-site for the forum with blog articles and such!
Thanks for all the input everyone. Honestly I had never seen these before and I got an Instagram ad for them (of all places)
I just wanted to be clear, I wasn't considering using them (I have 5 free range hens!) I just hadn't seen them before and was very curious!
Yes, an articles section is on the way. Though I think it will be technically on a different domain but I would LOVE for people to contribute in their areas of expertise!
This should be fixed now. You're currently the only member of the group so let me know if the ads have disappeared fully.
TO ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE RECENTLY DONATED: please DM me so I can add you to the ad-free usergroup.
The weather here has been insanely hot. 105F on the worst days. Can't wait for a little winter weather. I won't even say the R word because I dont want to jinx it
Right now the ads are set to automatically display at a low frequency. I will be adjusting them as needed so if you see an ad that is particularly annoying or if there are too many of them, please don't be shy. Screenshots are helpful but just letting me know helps a lot too!
When you click on New Posts it loads a table of new posts. You can filter that table by selecting "Unread only". Should work on mobile and desktop both.
