      I asked a similar question and Tom said he is setting up RSS for all the boards.

      The thread is here:

        I killed my RSS feeds on my boards for this reason!
        Funny it never crossed my mind that it could be that.

          Ok, forgive my ignorance. What's RSS?

              RSS is Really Simple Syndication and is a way to pick up feeds from other websites.
              Typically with news feeds.
              Looks like Tom set up the feeds from his other sites and they are choking down the ADBB. So all the posts from his south beach sites are showing up.

              Makes it all a bit confusing.

                AND VERY ANNOYING! I hope he reads this and removes them. I don't think it's appropriate or helpful.

                      No, there is no way to filter posts coming from other boards, but I'm pretty sure things will come back to "normal" soon. Tom said he is going to fix the problem... so I guess fixed it will be.

                          So I played around a little... If you want to find "most" posts, except the ones coming from other boards, go to Search --> Advanced Search and look for "atkins". You will miss most technical questions and most (exercise) challenges, but the word appears in almost all other threads.

                            Looks like someone fixed it.
                            Thank you whoever you are.

                              yes yes yes
                              I think I fixed it ... sorry about that ...
                              I added rss feeds. It ended up being more complicated than I thought. I should have it all worked out so that the posts only go to the external links section. Please PM me if this is not working 100% correctly and I will get it working as it should.

                              again, I really appologize for this.
