    Hi Rory,

    I posted tis publically to get other people's opinions too:

    On the home page of TASA, we get give a list of the frequent threads, and if they are not responded to, they drop on the list until they are off the home page.

    I understand to go to the "new posts" to check for the other new posts.

    What I was wondering... could we extend the number of threads visible on the home page. Reason being is I often just check in on the homepage, due to lack of time, and sometimes miss out on some really interesting topics and threads. I generally do find them... but who knows, we all could have missed that one thread.

    If I do this, then surely our better qualified fish experts and even our sponsors could be missing threads as well?

    The number of threads being added every day is obviously growing with the number of people joining the forum... so we need to look at alternate methods of "serving the masses".

    Yeah :) Pretty hard to keep up sometimes, if not for the UserCP page, I'd miss a lot of info.

    That is a pretty good Idea there then you won't have to worry if you missed a reply to your post or if there was a post that you might have been interested in.

    Yes zoom it's on the todo list with the TASA2 theme. Because the original theme was for an older version of vB there's still quite a few changes that need to be made. If you compare TASA and TASA2 there's quite a few things missing from TASA2 and one of the changes I'm going to do is to change the format of the threads on the homepage so that I can fit more on there without making the page really long.

    Nice idea. I currently use "New Posts", but the amount of posts recently makes it hard to keep up with all...

    My mobile works fine on TASA... when the wife complains I'm on the PC too long... I just sit with my phone and TASA.

    Could just be the HTC, a lot of sites see it as a pc.
