Could the private forum be marked as "private" (or something like that -- colour change ?) in the "What's New" section ?

The reason I'm as asking is that it's impossible to know in which forum (public or private) is something posted. It's not a huge deal, but it would help to know.
(E.g. : let's say I'm posting something in a "private tread", thinking that everybody will see it... It could take a while to realize that only 5 of us will read it.)
 
In any case, it would be nice if there could be a way to identify these private sections so that we know where we are at a glance.
 
Opinions ?
 

Date Toolbar : wouldn't it be better if its settings were NOT applied as soon as it's activated/visible?

The reason I'm asking is that the process of using the date toolbar is slower than it should...
I find it time consuming to  :
 
1- activate the date toolbar,
2-  wait for my grid to refresh according to the current (usually obsolete) date toolbar settings,
3- adjust the settings,
4- and then reapply the setting (hit refresh button on the date toolbar).
 
Rarely am I always using the same settings over and over, and so the first few seconds of waiting for the grid refresh etc.

After jibz comments, I was inspired to attempt a chm file of the user manual. 
So far I've got a couple of sections in. By the end of this long weekend, I should have a fair chunk in--I'm anxious to see what kind of size it will produce
 
My current plans are to post a preview here for comments, once the data is in. I also have to go back and update my sndb with the updates from January onwards
Then I'll add an index, then work the linking, etc.
 
By the way, HTML Help workshop is a "bear" (pain) to figure out, but pretty easy once you get the hang of it...

Authorities Form for Academic Research

Submitted by mknjlaw on 2010/05/26 12:12
I know I sound like a broken record but why cannot someone create an Authorities or Sources form like the ones in ndxnotes and notescribe which then could be related to an outline level? Trust me I could do this in a heart beat in Access but I need the outline metaphor to categorize my research results with as much granularity as possible an Access just does not do that. InfoQube, I guess, is incredibly potent but bordering on useless for academics or any one else who needs to be able to create bibilographies or otherwise give credit to authors whose work is being cited or used.
