I'd like to add my thanks too, to Val, Shirley and Clean. I just discovered my message about the forum this week, so I'm not sure I will get to 100 by Tuesday, but will endeavor to post more intently  and maybe I will check out the Games Board too. |

You won't miss that much. The meat - business and social chat - is on the main board anyway. Don't forget the gardening board! Shirley will shoot me if I don't direct you there.

Too late to list now. Might as well wait and get a fresh start tomorrow.  |

I am NOT there! I will eventually get there soon.
I do think that once someone had been grandfathered in or made it to the original 50 it would have been nice to not then remove them with the new rule! Just my opinion...doesnt really matter.
Thus begins my 2nd attempt to get into the Private area!

You're at 78, you only need 22. Shoot, zoe and I can do that alone just on the game board, LOL! But we're also beefing up the meat & potatoes sections over the next week or two - resources, ebay sections, business tips, etc. Those areas are open for all members, regardless of post count.
The private area is more the monthly BBL, problem transactions (although some get posted on the eBay board as well), workarounds for eBay issues, and personal conversations about kids, neighbors, coworkers. Yes, there are discussions about other sellers. listings and places. Just like there were discussions like that on the CAB, the PS board, the old Seller Central, and even at Kevin's forum. What is in the private area is nothing that hasn't been discussed elsewhere.
For everyone - the reason for raising the count has nothing to do with hiding things. It has to do with member trust. Some members are hesitant to post, for whatever reason. Having a private area makes them feel more comfortable about posting, and when they post, they contribute. We learn when members contribute, no matter what area they post in. We also all know that things posted on the internet aren't ever really private or hidden - not to a determined hacker, anyway. But when you post in an area that should be restricted viewing, you don't expect a fellow member to cut and paste what you've said into a public area for ridicule. Our members trust us and each other, and no member has the right to violate that trust. No one.

I spent half an hour last night getting the 14 or so posts I needed. Not too hard.

Just go to the Word Association thread. You'll rack up those posts in no time without a lot of keystrokes. Easy peasy! And for some strange reason, which I can't explain, it's fun too!

Eh. Go play some more games. I need a partner in crime since I think I might be the only night owl here.

Thanks for setting this up. Just wish the default font size was larger.

I set the default for text larger, but when I did, it make the entire board HUGE. I probably didn't do it right, though. We have a forum feature request discussion, if you want to post this suggestion there it would be great! Our techie members do watch the suggestions there Plus it counts as another post for you |

Trying to get my posts up. I liked the private area best even though I didn't post a ton. Guess I need to start posting more.

Is there a different private area or am I seeing it? Confused but maybe it will make sense if I made it to 100.

When you get to 100 posts, a whole new world will open for you.  |

and maybe I will check out the Games Board too.
