If you click on Word Games - ForumGarden all the Word Games appear.

Ok, so the only changes we'll really see is you can locate the games quickly in the "forum area," but the games et all will still be interspersed in the daily postings...is that right?

Sorry Spot...I didn't mean games, I meant rooms..

The word games are in the word games forum.

The hotel-related postings - the "rooms" and the "ask me anything" threads - are in the ForumGarden Hotel forum.

The reason that the forum areas exist - there's about forty of them - is to locate topic-related posts in one place for people browsing the site. They can browse all the posts related to, for example, motor cycles or the weather or pets or sport on one screen without seeing anything unrelated at the same time.

All the posts, the hotel and the word games and the pets and the motorcycles, appear mixed together in reverse time order on Today's Posts. Every thread you've posted to already appears in reverse time order on My Replies. These are all different ways of bringing posts together onto your screen in an order which helps you get to where you want to reach. When all else fails, try Search.

The change you'll see as a result of putting the Hotel forum up is all the Room and Ask-me threads in one place for the first time. I can't think of any other difference.

Thank you Spot...I apparently misunderstood the purpose of the Forum Hotel. I originally thought that you would click on a thread called the Forum Garden Hotel and all the rooms would appear there and not on the daily posts....oy vey I understand now.
