Can someone explain why I can never find this thread in the active Around the NCAA Forum page even when there are recent posts? The only way I find it is when it is the most recent post in the forum in the page with all forums.
No idea, I've never heard of that. It shows on the NCAA forum page for me, and it certainly stays on the front page. One general possibility would be if you had the original poster (the one who started the thread) on ignore, but then you wouldn't see it anywhere, and with one whole post (this one, I guess) under your belt, you wouldn't be ignoring people yet anyway.
Two thoughts: you can click the !Report button to the lower left of your post, and that will flag it for a mod to review. Or you could post in
Need Help? and ask your question there, if you can start a new thread. Freak keeps an eye on that sub-forum, especially for oddball software quirks, like when I accidentally resize my font. Again.
But for a quick fix, click the Watch button at the top of any page, on the right above the first post for that page. You should get a notification under Alerts whenever a new post is added to the thread. Alerts is at the top of the forum pages, on the right where your name appears. --in fact, you should have received an Alert for this post, because I quoted you.
hope that helps
