Just started the New Mexico thread. Been out of the loop for a while as the combination of work, family, and finishing my Masters degree have been consuming my time.
mrhart - would you mind adding the New Mexico link to the front page? One other thing, after trying to follow the links on the front page it looks like they only show the original post from each thread. Any way to have them link to the entire thread?

That is my fault!!!!:o I instructed him how to add links to single posts(rather than each thread). Post # 26 this thread. My apologies!!!!!
And Thank You for calling that to 'our' attention!
If I have not confused Mrhart further, he may make the corrections.
Unfortunately(?) only the originator of a post can edit it.

I just put a link on
Kansas to go to
Kansas Shopsmith Owners/Users. Don't know if that is the way you want it done, but it works. What would be good is to put a Sticky for SS by state search, and not have post on it, just the link to the states.

That is an effective work around, but every thread starter would need to do the same. I have pm'd mrhart with a list of all the existing threads urls. I hope if he has time, he will change the current single post links to the thread links.
I apologize to all for having been the cause of this misdirected result.
Shopsmith By State Search

If it had been initiated as a sticky, would it have remained on the first page of the thread in which it was started?

The 'it' that is relevant IS still at the top of each state's thread. Making it a 'sticky' would not change the status quo.
The 'problem' is I instructed Mrhart to 'go to the top post' by way of the display single post function. That created links to ONLY that single post rather than the entire thread. Still sorry!!!:o

OK, New Mexico is added and the links should be fixed to display all threads per state.
Sorry for being absent over the weekend....I was bad....

I just looked at the OK group again and there are only 7 of us on it. Surely there are more than 7 of us in OK in the group. If you are lurking you need to let us know where you are and join the fun.
Thanks

Hey quite complaining
. 7 is a whole lot better than the 1 poster on the New Mexico thread!

I know we have a couple of users and forum members in Alabama. I have yet to see a thread for them. Are you folks alright?
