New forum layout

[Big Al]

You may have noticed the forum front page looks a little different. To help improve retention and site flow, we're showing the most active threads on the front page of the forum. You can access all of the subforums directly from the Forum List.

Feedback on this change is appreciated- as are any recommendations, complaints, etc. Thanks!

I dig it! One thing I noticed is that the Filters defaulted to "show only unread threads." This meant that only threads I have not read will show in the list. So some recent thread activity won't show in the default New Posts list.

I don't know if this was some setting that I made a long time ago and forgot about, or if universally all site visitors will see the same default filter setting.

There is a Filters drop down settings in the light blue bar across the top of the New Post page. I deselected "show only unread threads" and checked "Save as default". This was how I corrected it for myself so now all new thread activity will show in the New Posts list, but I wonder if there's a way to change the default setting globally for all users.
