The traders section which is accessed from the front page on the right hand side desperately needs getting rid of or updating - many of the members offering products and/or services are not members on the site any more and may not be offering these services anymore and I personally find it confusing to have a separate list for those with banners and those without banners - may I suggest that many of the links and details in this section could go under a general section of useful bits and bobs and those that are trading go in a section where you can find all downsizer traders, banner or not of - equally, underneath are listed 'latest traders' - the traders listed are not the latest by any means

Sorry, on a bit of a roll now - the About Us section at the top right hand corner (when you are looking at the forum) includes a section about how to contact people at downsizer but doesn't mention anything about contacting the mods - in light of all of the current discussion may I suggest that the current list of mods goes in there and how to contact them - also no mention of how to complain/contact a mod in the FAQs tab at the top of the page

Sorry, rushed response.

The 'My Topics' button only display topics not threads you participated in. I ask this because there are instances where it's very useful to be able to list the active threads you recently participated in. If that makes sense.

In your profile you can find a list of all the posts you've made (search all user's posts). If you've said a lot recently that might take a bit of searching through, but it does limit the list to posts you've actually made. (I usually get to my profile by going to who's online) I expect there are elegant techie ways to do it, but that seems to work

The find all posts by button in your profile should do this for you

find all posts by vegplot

This is sorted with the most recent first

No it doesn't. For instance, this tread doesn't show as being active.

I must be blind. No such button in 'My Profile'

Edit: I see what you mean. Perhaps the link/button could be in 'My Profile' as well as the public profile or perhaps on the page itself.
