Where have the 'interesting topics' gone

Post by Phippy » Fri Oct 22, 2021 6:28 pm

Don't get me wrong.... I'm not saying all new posts are boring!

I just noticed the 'Interesting topics' section below 'recent posts' has vanished from the home screen, the title is there but no posts listed.

Is it just me or is it the same for everyone?

In addition, i have a suggestion for the 'recent posts' section..... could this be recoded to appear as it does now, but made a scrollable field that shows the last 50 posts?

Had no idea there was an interesting topics thread. :?

I visit the forum on my tablet phone laptop, when I had one and desktop.

Hopefully Mr Wilks will drop in from time to time. An Audi though. :tumbleweed: :evil:

    I could never work out what the algorithm is for choosing what an interesting topic was..maybe an admin peep could enlighten us?

    The recent topic can be found in the home section, I feel like these are interesting topics as well since there are new comments on it. I am not sure you can always correct me if I'm wrong.
