I want to make a post about Mick Foley coming to Toledo as part of the library's Authors! Authors! series, but I have no idea if I'm the only one who lives around here or not. I think having the ability to search by hometown would be a useful feature for this situation, and probably not much else, maybe.
This problem was the reason that I switch to "Show all posts" a while back. It got to be a pain in certain forums when I'd mark it read, go back for a new post, and half of the posts were still unread.
