[quote=flips]Just spending some time on the site again and I just wanted to echo some of the earlier comments on recent forum posts.  In the past that was the only way I was able to get around the forums.[/quote]

I wanted to focus on this because I was also one who frequently used the recent posts at the top of the old site to get around the forums.  Now, I use the “Recent Activity” list on the right to see what’s new.  One definite improvement there is that the list is much longer, so more “new” activity is visible right on the front page now.

However, IMHO, what the old site didn’t do very well was show you all the unread posts/comments you had.  For that, the new “Recent posts” link under your username on the right side is a welcome addition and I use that whenever I’m so far behind that the “Recent Activity” has more “new” info than can be shown.  (Then I wonder why I was away for so long, but that’s another story…  😉  )

We’re still tweaking both of these, but I think everyone will like where we’re heading with them.

Definitely keep the ideas coming.  Also, if you have strong feelings about something another person has mentioned, please feel free to chime in, as that will help us determine what we need to focus on.
