Not sure this is the correct thread but I'ld like to propose a change on the start page.

The latest forum activity is right now used for up to 6 (?) most current posts from the forum. If all these posts belong to one thread, which got quite common now, this is not helpfull at all.

So I'ld rather have listed the 6 most current threads than the 6 most current posts. I think that would help a lot to keep an overview without checking the forum on a dayly basis. :smile:

Well, just a quick note: I saw your suggestion. I also have some ideas how to solve your problem, but if I now start spreading them out here, you'll expect delivery dates :smile:

Many sites nowadays have the equivalent of threads, typically with an article and a few comments, and intermixed with other stuff (think facebook); fully embracing that would need quite some redesign (and probably some data mining I don't want to trouble you with).

My way to stay current is to receive all forum postings by mail.

And if anyone wants to read the forum via NNTP (Thunderbird, tin, ...), I have an experimental implementation of that ready.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
