Why are there less posts on the TB homepage now?

[synterx]

a few days ago I noticed there are about half as many "current posts" or whatever you call them on the TB home page. I don't like it, and want to put the full quantity back. Is there a way? I visit TB often throughout the day and prefer to see what's going on via this homepage list.

Am I alone?

I didn't see a forum for talking about the forum, so if this needs to be moved, I'm sorry 'bout that.

Yea I want it back to normal too.

 

[DonnyDanger]

+1 on wanting it back !

 

[CrispyDelicious]

Yeah, it feels kinda cramped.

On the homepage, there is a forum listed called Customer Service, which has sub-forums within it. I've moved this thread there.

Thank you. I never, ever go into the individual forms for amps, basses, etc. I only use that home page to see the posts...so if there's someway to get more back, or even a preference to list how many, that would rock...

Boy, I can't imagine viewing this forum that way That would be so random- it'd be like wanting to watch a particular show about fishing and scrolling through all 600 channels to find one instead of looking on the fishing channel to see if it's there

Nah, it's awesome. I just like seeing the random posts. I care zero about DB posts, but there aren't many of those...

I agree - bring back the longer home page. I use individual topics sometimes, but as someone said above, also enjoy seeing current discussion topics regardless of what specific topic they involve.

This post is a great example - who goes into the Customer Service forum? But how many see this on the home page and then contribute? That's how I do it...

I concur. Most of the threads I post in are from the home page.

Ima go get muh picket signs, torches, etc.

Can we get some type of acknowledgement from the admins about this? Why it was done, and if it is going to be changed?

You may want to try using the "New Posts" Link. That seems to do the same type of thing that you're looking for. That's what I use.

Yep... there's 'some change in the air' here on TalkBass fellas... the criteria sems to be shifting here a bit.

Not sure I know what you mean by "the criteria seems to be shifting"...what criteria?

I would recommend the same. For one thing, the homepage posts are only pulled from a select # of forums. You'd be missing out on a lot of activity if you just browse the homepage sample. I decreased the number of threads pulled on the homepage in order to move the news posts up from the depths...

I started to use the New Post forums...I feel like a whiner here, but I actually don't want all those other forums. The ones on the home page are the ones I care about most.

I guess I'll live.
