We've added a couple of changes to the site today

We've added a couple of changes to the site today that will hopefully make it simpler to follow new posts and post content under the appropriate topic:

1. Click on Topics for a view of latest posts according to topic. Under each topic there is also a button for adding a post directly within that topic. (we will create a similar page for locations briefly)

2. If you visit the New Activity page you will see a new link that allows you to mark posts as read. Quite a few asked for this and rightly so as it does make a tidier view of the forums. 

3. You can still get a view of posts created today in the forums by clicking on "New Today".

4. Whenever you click on a Topic from the right-hand-side menu you will get a list of the latest posts within that topic and also a link that allows you to create a new post within that topic.

5. For the more adventurous we've left the "Create Content" button at the top, which allows you to create different types of content - however, we will be making it simpler to add other types of content (photo galleries, etc) soon.

One more thing in the works is the famous quote functionality - that will be coming next week.

A presto - Ronald

ps: a note on topics - we are trying to organize topics along the larger themes of travel, property, society, living, language, food and wine, weddings - under these headings we can have other sub-topics so please suggest anything you would like.

As ever thanks for your patience and hanging on while we adjust things here.
