It's the front page. The poll is OK, but the rest...

I liked it when there was a front and centre top 10 or 20 or whatever list of trending topics we could easily see and jump in on.

The rest, I can work with it. You know I'll post, but I just liked it when it was easy for me to see other, trending topics. It encouraged me to post more on stuff I have no business otherwise posting on.

Here's the thing:

Prior to Zico 2.0, there was no home page. It simply redirected to the forums section of the site. What you are explaining you are 'missing' is still there on the forums 'home' page... look on the right hand side.

The 'new' site home page is simply a start of me FEATURING certain threads at this time. Could it be better? Yes but as I think I mentioned, it is a WIP... just today, I updated the feature listing for the Masters Provincial Cup by adding a tournament results tree... even that is a WIP.

I will go about and see (eventually) if I can get a Latest Replies block added to the sidebar on the home page so that it mimics what you see on the Forums home page.

A question to you - and others can chime in - why don't you use the New Posts link to track 'trending topics'?

Cheers,

Regs.

Answer from me: I'm internet and technology stupid.

Honestly, I can't even turn on my own entertainment system at home. I have to get the kids to do it for me. I have become my father in that sense.

But you know this about me. If it is not dead easy, I don't even try. Those two features? I have no idea WTF you are on about. Seriously, zero.

In the past, I'd see the topics front and centre, and just click on them, because I was looking for a way to procrastonate real work.

Cause I'm busy, and for me to make the most of my procrastonation time, it needs to be easy.

I find myself "searching" too often, and eventually just give up.

What is funny is that 'feature' has been a part of TTP since inception - we are talking over a decade :)

Ummm...go back three posts? See "I am internet stupid"?

I had no idea.

Making it easier for idiots like me will increase traffic. Guaranteed.

As long as you continue to describe what you would like to see or what your issues are, I'm more than happy to figure out how to improve for you!

Here's a small update I just made to the new posts link on the home page so that it has the same functionality as the link on the forums page:

upload_2015-4-20_9-49-7.png

Now there is an indicator of new posts since your last check - if there are 20 new posts, it will show a 20

I really need to do up some how-tos and 'tips & tricks' section here on TTP - I get the feeling there is a lot that is under utilized by the members simply because they haven't explored things for themselves - that's my bad.

Here is another small tip to explore and find activity happening on TTP:

http://www.takethepiss.com/recent-activity/

You will find that link in a couple of spots, most notably on the site home page (subnav beside the newly discovered New Posts link) and within the Members section of TTP.

Cheers,

Regs.

@Regs - I have an issue where the new posts field displays a number when in reality I have no new posts to browse. Any idea why?

Hmmm, not too sure as I haven't come across the issue... is it happening right this minute?

Try hitting mark forums read and then wait a bit to see if it 'fixes' it.

Regs,

I gave it a solid 24 hours of checking back and reading new posts. The problem persists. It's not a big deal, it's just curious that it does this regularly.
