I am copying my earlier post (from thread below) here. Would it be possible to delete that one? Somehow it didn't end up in the right thread. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Dr. Bob - I think PSB should be archived less frequently. It's like a "conversation" starts and then is abruptly ended before it has a chance to develop. It happens too often the way it is now. Sure we can go back to the last archived period but it's not the same.
Also, if you post in response to archived posts they can get lost when your response appears in the current period's posts. It might be better if any new responses showed up at the bottom of the new posts.
In general, the less often the posts are archived the better (even more important for psb than pb meds board because that isn't so much about conversation and you can always search archives by med). Another thing that might work is archiving only the top 1/3 of the posts or something like that each time. That way the newer ones aren't archived shortly after being posted, before enough people have seen and responded to them. -mist
