i know that you can't see them unless you are logged in.... but how could you be posting if you aren't logged in?

clear your cache and reboot, try it again

in IE:

firefox:
1. Click Tools and select Options on the Firefox menu bar.
2. Click the Privacy Icon on the Option menu bar to open the Privacy Properties.
3. Click Clear across from the Cache option.
4. Click Ok to return to the browser main page.
5. Exit and reboot.

They aren't on the search page, anymore. People complained that they took up too much space, personally, I didn't agree with that. ohno:

I don't think a random one or two word answer- a color, a number, a city, whatever- is worthwhile under view new posts.

They don't say anything and are, as stated, "random" and just "games"

A whole page of crap like that with people trying to boost their post totals is a waste of space and makes it harder for others to find real posts to reply to.

People dont post there just to boost post titles. Random is for chatting with friends and Games is for playing games. As much as its hard to believe, the boards serve a purpous whether you like the board or dont.

A huge percentage of random and games are no more than 1 sentence.

What is so hard about going to the random board when you know exactly what it is all about? 'View new posts' shows all the boards and topics and is not just people having an ongoing conversation.

And yes, there is a good amount of people who try up their post totals, whether you believe it or not.

There are some people but most people dont. Anyway I dont have a problem with the boards being unsearchable it just annoys me when people say how their pointless and just to raise post totals.

I see them now, but I didn't this morning when I was in computer lab. But I was logged in so it doesn't really make sense....but oh well.

I think the Games board is fun...I've never really been to the Random one much, so I haven't seen much of it.

I don't post on the Games board to pull up my post total, I post there because I enjoy playing the games. You're probably right about there being some people who do it, though, but surely it wouldn't be the majority? Or maybe I'm just naive?
