Hi Jeff,
Nice to see that you are still with us ...

"By the way, most forums feature that when there is a new post to an old original post message, that it bumps it back up to the top. Is that not an option on this site? When I first joined this site I tried to go backward a ways reading, but it was a little cumbersome."
Well, it's W.Y.S.I.W.Y.G. around here.
We've got what you could call "sure and steady simplicity" here at Network54. We opted for the OUTLINE style of posting for the FORUM early on, rather than the confusion of "long lists of titles covering a myriad of topics in a grid" format. Sort of a comfort level thing, one we've gotten used to over the years.
And for the last few years, I've paid to upgrade the FORUM to their Premiere service, which means no ads are shown and the wonders of Network54's "search engine" capabilities are totally available to us. We've found their "search" box to be very effective and works really well when you are looking up anything - a topic, name, etc.
So sorry, no bump up of topics - or index titles .... so if you want to add something to an older thread, just post it on the front page, and refer back to the original topic. Or you can post on the original thread itself, and just mention this on the first page (adding the URL of the original thread really helps). So far, this has worked well for us, and it really hasn't come up too often.
Hope to see you around here often, Jeff.
As always,
Tatia
