I check it also. If the mods could reverse the order it would be easier to utilize.

Each time I think I got it figured out... I'll profess my ignorance, where is the short term availability link? I've never noticed it and regretting that now! It sounds like great thing for providers and clients both!
I'm on the road right now and only have a smartphone, is this only available from a computer that doesn't fit in my pocket? Thanks for any info in advance

But if I ever need one or I have some unexpected time, here is where I look.

I do. Trouble is that whenever I look (i.e. I'm ready), the latest post is a couple days old.... Originally Posted by Kshunter

Nope. Poor format. It needs its own section. An ad-hoc thread doesn't work effectively.

The biggest problem I have with the Short Term Availability is (admittedly) my own mental issue. If a provider posts that she has a last minute availability from 2:00-4:00, all I can think is "Who was she seeing up until 2:00, and who is waiting to see her at 4:00?" I realize that this is irrational, but it's what comes to mind.

I just click the 'View First Unread' link in the upper left of the thread. Takes you right to the new stuff!
Being new here, I'm not sure were this feature is located. I'm still learning...you know the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks... but I'm trying. Everything I do is spur of the moment or last minute so I would definitly use it.
