Need your input/vote on usage of discussion links

[horseUSA]

Do you use these links? How important are they for you?
Please provide your feedback. Need to determine if this feature will stay with new forum update.

I dont use them, i tend to hit recent posts as soon as i log in

 

[Marcel]

Yeah, I sometimes use it, although it's a bit redundant as the same info is on the right side of the screen.

 

[GrauGeist]

I just came here from that discussion list...

 

[Wurger]

Using really very seldom. But sometimes it can be useful.

As a new member, I'm just now finding interesting threads from 2009 Is there any way to archive this info for reading and research?

It'll always be on the server, use the search feature to find topics. The advanced search allows you to narrow down your results by content, title, by member and more.

Very good. Many thanks.

 

[special ed]

Thanks for that. I'm learning.

Very seldom if at all. Generally speaking I go to Alerts first then Recent Posts. I'll look through them to see if anything looks interesting but that's about it

With Karl and Mike - Alerts and new posts, in that order. The only time I use the menu at all is to find the GB threads.

 

[Crimea_River]

Never use it though I have accessed threads there by mistake thinking that the page was my usual "New Posts" tab. I always go to the "New Posts" tab and my phone is short-cutted there.

 

[special ed]

Don't know my way around the site yet to make a vote

 

[fubar57]

I use....

1) Alerts
B) New posts
☭) Current Visitors. The robots and guests take me to threads from the days of yore
REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THAT PERMANENTLY DELETED THREAD

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I have used it from time to time and have gotten decent info from it also.

 

[Chip B.]

Why not? I can see no reason not to -

(of course as many will tell you, it is quite challenging to see anything with
my cheeks resting on my shoulders)

 

[XBe02Drvr]

Don't use it enough to have it take up page space.
1) Alerts
2) New Posts

Option to disable Main Page Link Block

The Main Page Link Block can now be disabled in your preferences.

Hover over username in top right and select preferences from the menu. Then scroll down to the Link Block on Main Page option.

Go to Account Preferences and scroll down to Style Options section and make your Link Block on Main Page selection.

I like things as they are. I use it, the alert section, and the side section as well. It is your site,so make changes as you choose. I'm good with what ever you decide.

Turned off the links, though now the ads appear on top of the new posts page. I don't think they were there before.
