Front page wonky

Dog Moon · Aug 10, 2006

Missing stuff on the front page, mainly on the right hand side. I see the Support EnWorld thing as well as the Recent Reviews, but I can't see the most recent replies or the news.

Is it just me? Was like this yesterday as well. Thought giving it a little time might help, but apparently not.

I am missing everything past Recent reviews as well, no topics updates, no forums list?

Please please fix it...

I'm trying to speed the site up by removing high load items from the front page - especially those which are really just a duplicate of info elsewhere. It seems to be working (at least to me).

Ah, well. I miss the "most recent forum threads" box, but if it's a performance hit I can understand. If you decide to leave it like this I'll just have to change my bookmarks is all.

But the most recent threads allowed me to surf at work and have an idea of what was going on in multiple forums, is there a way to have a secondary page that we could also load that has that option enabled?

You could just have your bookmark point directly at the forums page:

http://www.enworld.org/forums.php?

I use Firefox and have a bunch of bookmarks all in one folder. I can then middle-click on that folder and all the bookmarsk open in separate tabs.

Yes, but then I need to look at 5-6 pages at a time, not just one quick glance. I browse at work and this makes it almost impossible to do that.

Hrm, this is mainly the only thing I cared about, but if it's not there, I guess I'll have to deal with it.

Yes, the forums page might work, but I also like to see the headlines down the center of the page as well, meaning that my 1 page turns into 2.

But I guess no one can please everyone.

Would 'Recent Forum Topics' load quicker if it had its own page? So, it wouldn't have to compete with everything else on the page?

Well you can always use the existing new posts page.
