I love that you don’t see “recent posts / news” at the top anymore. No more down scrolling in the subforums <3.
I’d not mind “latest news” at all tho, since I’ve only bookmarked a character sub forum and usually don’t visit the frontpage. just not at the top, anywhere at the right right / left side would be appreciated.
It’s actually a pretty terrible change. The frontpage is cluttered with so many scripts and ads that it takes me (and plenty of other people) forever to load, and will actually hang a browser sometimes. At least the ‘recent news’ box let me jump directly to a news post without having to wade through the front page. Oh well, I know SRK needs that ad revenue, gotta’ get those frontpage hits. I might just grab an RSS extension for Chrome and try to use that instead.
The box was just misplaced. (and recent posts was useless²³²³² with that frequency of posts on this forum). I don’t want the box back at the top, but wouldn’t mind it at the side [or at the bottom for all I care]. This way everyone should be pleased.
Thanks to SRK staff for returning the ‘Recent News’ feature! Makes the site much more usable for a large amount of folks that get creamed by the front page.
