personal opinion
Wed, 22 Mar 2006, 12:31 pmin my full personal opinion, i perfer the old version of this site.
it was much more easier to navergate and use than the "upgraded" version.
now i don't wunna be rude or offinsive or anything, i can gather you guys have put in a
of effect and hard work in trying to make it better and not, and believe me, i will still use
the site, but please, try and make it more simple...
that is all i have to say on the matter, i am now ready for the bomard that awaits me...

Thanks once again for your constructive and useful feedback!

Actually this is precisely how this works. If you're logged in, you'll notice that you can vote for topics. Once a topic reaches the threshold (currently very low at two excellent votes!), then the item is promoted to the front page.
So get voting folks!

If you're logged in, click on "my account" in the personal navigation block to the left and Edit your personal settings.
Partway down the page you'll find a number of checkboxes next to blocks you can enable and disable - including, Popular Content. Try enabling this one.

Threading will happen with all new comments but sadly we lost it for the old ones. I realise too that the little connecting lines helped when trying to follow the thread of a discussion. I may be able to reinstate something like this at some stage.

Sorry Craig! Yes, no admin poll section. But you should see an edit tab above the current poll - and every old poll for that matter. Also the Add Poll item in the Polls menu at the top of the page will work for you and only one or two other people. So, please feel free!
Thanks again!
Cheers
