Front page wonky

[Ilium]

Well you can always use the existing new posts page.

Bing! We have a winner. I didn't know this existed, but now it's going in my bookmarks.

I guess that only works if you subscribe? As I cannot afford to subscribe I guess that leaves me out?

I... didn't know that existed! Cool! Is it linked from anywhere (other than on here?) or do I have to bookmark it to use it?

It's in one of the dropdown menus at the top.

Morrus, please see my question?

Oh, 'New Posts since my last visit'--the name threw me off. Thanks!

Unfortunately, yes, it does use Search.

I always liked using it, but I don't find it essential. I mainly use my Subscriptions to jump around between forums, with looking what goes on in the forum. Fulfills a similar role, but I can see that the old New Posts might be more essential to others.

Less functionality is a bad thing...

The posts on there aren't arranged in chronological order (I don't know what order they're in), so not all the most recent posts are at the top.

Edit: Oh, that's because refreshing the page doesn't refresh the Search, just the times.

I really liked having the recent posts on the front page.

It was undoubtedly my #1 most used site feature.
