Absolutely 83 – I’m totally with nop here. 🙂 If we have a small but hard core to keep the momentum going, eventually the ball will start rolling, I’m sure of it. So yes, by all means, just keep flooding the forums!! 😛
I’ve moved the sidebar to the left (just to try it out); I now think it looks better to have the “activity” stuff there (left is where the human eye looks first, at least in western culture) but let me know your impressions particularly if you preferred it the other way around. I’ve also increased the topics to 7. I briefly also tried 10 but that’s indeed too much – good judgment there 83, as always thanks for the feedback & superb suggestions.
