Started by cmcnure@hotmail.com
Is it possible to get the 'Mark as Read' also added to the top of each forum so we do not have to scroll to the bottom of the page to hit this feature . Most times only the first couple topics has new information added.

I am new to the GPAA and new to prospecting. I have been running online paydirt in my garage for the past couple years.

I've watched a few videos of different machines but can't tell which direction they spin. I know which direction I think they should. If one were to stick their finger in a ridge half way down, then spun the bowl the correct direction, would their finger end up at the top or bottom Thank you
