I have to say, I do really like the lightning bolt at the top. It takes you directly to what's new, then you can choose new unread posts, latest activity. Tex, check it out... I think that's what you're looking for?

I was going to say my biggest gripe is the default view is different.... But I got beaten to it! I liked going to s101 and seeing what's new.

Not the biggest issue as you can trick chrome into auto filling the url into the what's new, but now that ads are fixed... I think that's the only thing that "bugs" me about the changes.

Can you add back in the member info in the posts so we can quickly see where people are from, how long they've been a member, how many posts they've had and how many reactions.

Without clicking something. I think that is part of the reason people are saying that using the site is hard and things are hidden. It's form over function.
Imagine if your phone updated one day and they hid the clock to make the screen look nice and clean. Then to see what time it was, you had to click on a clock app.

If you use chrome... Just delete all S101 browser history. Then manually goto "https://www.signs101.com/whats-new/" And do it a dozen or so times. Then whenever you enter signs101, it'll auto fill in that address since it's what you visited the most. It works cross platform.

you could also technically edit your hosts file on windows/osx to redirect for you... or your routers DNS. Lots of ways to achieve it on the user level.

Having new posts show up on the main page was nice, but I see why it's not that way anymore...much better SEO results when the main forum is indexed at the index level. So an extra click for us, but it could drive more traffic and increase google rankings this way... which in return brings more users / and could make the site better, worth the trade off.

The Home Page should go to Recent posts or SOMETHING recent. Your showing a list of outdated content. The only thing recent on the home page is this thread, because Gino was smart enough to post it under site help and suggestions.

Edit to say - the home page is the landing page, and it's not helping your SEO to have such outdated activity as your landing page.

No, I was not smart enough to do that. Paul had the sense and moved it so it could do more good and perhaps get some feedback about other problems.

So my biggest nag is that my right click does not work in the text field I'm typing in now.
Now I know a great number of you imagine I have imacculate speelings, but I rely heavily on chrome's built in spell checker so that I can focus all of my affort on grammer! Can we get that right click to work again? Am I doing it wrong? I feel old...
You are old. 1/2 of the users here wouldn't even recognize your avatar.

Perfect! I deleted my bookmark and went to the What's New page then added the bookmark again. Brings me right to the What's New page!

Wait, I guess it was just Stacey's profile that has an age listed! Did I miss that box or is Stacey the only honest one around here?
Some of us are honest around here burton. I'm a very handsome 25 year old that is highly sought after by the ladies. I had the box checked but it must have disappeared with this fancy new layout.
