Actually, the original plan was to put the Caption This! boards on complete hiatus for the foreseeable future - meaning there would have been no new posting allowed on any of them - only the ability to see the screen captures so that members who might want to use them for set ups on the Complete This Phrase / Fill In The Blank(s) board could do so. The only thing that prevented that was the fact that Years 4 and 5/Movies don't have as many captions on them as the first three do, so we figured it might be nice to leave captioning possible on only those two to let them catch up, if you will.
But, sorry, any sort of posting on Years 1, 2 and 3 has been completely suspended.
Now, that's certainly not to say all the Caption This! boards won't be open to posting captions again. They most definitely will. Just not any time soon. The forum's primary focus right now is on the Complete This Phrase / Fill In The Blank(s) board, and we appreciate that members are supporting it.
When I come to DSF, I click on 'new posts' but maybe others here don't, and won't see posts on CT! unless they specifically go there.
The new posts icon displays on the BoardIndex whenever there are new posts on any of the boards - even the child boards. And it displays on the MessageIndex pages to show which child boards have new posts. So, even without using the Show Unread Posts Since Last Visit feature, everyone should be aware whenever anything new has been posted on any of the boards.
