ENWorld home page...

This is probably not the right forum for this...but I couldn't find another. Is anyone else opening the ENWorld homepage and the latest forum topics not appearing on the right?

Short of that, you're not really getting the MMO experience.

For me, I browse from work. It is a bit more noticable to kepp 6-8 seperate forum Tabs open than it was to keep the front page available. I liked that I could see at a glance what the community was thinking. Now I can't we are fractured and kept in seperate forums and cannot have a grand unified place to see this information. Maybe if the main Forum page had the box that showed most recent posts it would work just as well?

Yeah, I'd rather have the most recent message board posts than the reviews page (not to diss the reviewers!)

I have this problem, too. It sounds like this is how the site is now? No more recent forum topics on the front page? If so, then .

I never used that feature, but now the site is noticably faster for me so I'm feeling

Community supporters can use the New Posts function: http://www.enworld.org/search.php?do=getnew

The rest of us... well, we are getting all of this for free!

Cheers,
Liam

P.S. This topic is already being discussed in this thread: Front page wonky

The rest of the users could try to see if the User CP is fitting their bill. It is free, it allows tracking threads, and it allows tracking forums. You just need to subscribe to them with a click or two.

That works fine and I use it plenty, but it doesn't help in finding new threads though. Still, the new posts page is fairly neat.
