I've always shift-clicked threads into new windows, but I doubt if it explains the numbers. I reckon it's just a glitch. I always log on at the same time every evening and up until a year ago or so, there used to always be at least 2 full pages of new posts in this forum every day. It's been dropping steadily. Now it averages 1 page, occasionally 1 1/2. I'm sure some people will disagree, but the quantity of posts here is slowly going down. Either the users are all in other forums, or Rosity is losing traffic. mac
