A suggestion for the front page

New cubers might not find and participate in the competition area.

This "issue" doesn't bother me.

Doesn't bother me either. But, if something MUST be changed, then blakedacuber's idea is probably the best yet.

The module that feeds threads onto the homepage allows me to choose which forums posts are fed from. I've eliminated the off-topic forum from it. If there is enough interest, I can manually remove specific threads from being shown (like Accomplishments Thread), while all other posts from the forum are still fed.

Should the help/questions forum be fed onto the homepage? I understand that a lot of people don't care to see specific forums, so I can make a general setting that fits better for most.

As for a personalized homepage: it is easier said than done, but we'll keep that in mind for the future. I'm sure someone is already developing a solution for this that hopefully we can take advantage of in the future.

I personally don't care for the video section. Or the Help/Questions. But that's just me.

Thanks Pat

I think OAQT-type threads are actually fine to stay up; it's better if everybody can easily contribute - I've answered quite a few questions just because I felt like clicking on it while at the front page.

The only other sub-forum I'd suggest removing from the front page would be the forum competitions and 'race' threads.

I was confused for a moment... I keep the forum itself bookmarked, and tend to forget that there is an actual "homepage."

I use the forum pretty frequently, and the homepage is quite a useful tool.

Could you make a version accessable to us that lists posts from any forum? I and a few others prefered it the old way.

I'm another one who preferred the old way; I can live with it the way it is now, but it's definitely a step backwards for me.

Over the last few days I've looked into this. It would be easier said than done to make this happen. Now we're in a pickle. Some prefer all forums, others prefer certain ones. What is the best solution in this case until until a user option can be built?
