Nanny, no sweat....I just created that new front page this week because the developer on the other would-be site fell through. I actually like the new one better anyway. A lot lighter and faster.
Super important to note that some people might actually elect to just stay here in the forum, and if they do so, they won't miss a thing because the forum is the engine for everything else. Notice how the new Blog is here, all the dreams, bot runs, etc.
There will be more add-ons as we go...one step at a time. If you're one who uses "View Today's Posts," then you'll be just fine. The front page is nothing more than a regurgitation of the latest stuff from the forum. BUT it's a different display that I hope people will like better than having to learn how to navigate our forum. Put simply, the new front page is just a different way to display the most current stuff.
One thing of note: The RSS feeds aren't real-time unfortunately. If you start a new thread in one of the source forums, it may not show up on the front page for another hour. So its not really a great place to be if you're wanting to be updated instantaneously.
The best way to get immediate updates is to subscribe to the specific threads you're interested in. That link is at the bottom of every forum thread. It says, "Subscribe to thread."
