CA3LE -
I kind of miss having the active topics on the home page. I know i can go to "Portal" and then "Today's Active Topics", but I find myself doing that a lot. Is it possible to create a new window on the home page that mirrors the active topics' first few lines?
Or am I missing a shortcut somewhere?
Thanks.

Do you mean like the "New Content" in the upper right corner? I had trouble finding that one too.  :azn:

I see that, but that is just newly created topics. If they remain active, they still fall off that list. I have just saved a shortcut to here: http://www.testmy.ne...earch&do=active .
But I think it would be nice to see the most active on the front page especially for newbies (and lazy old people like me).

At the bottom of the main page, just above the users online is the 'todays active content'. And then you can change it to 1 week or more from the default 24 hours.
But maybe because of the 'tab' format of this forum software, CA3LE might be having fun trying to make it be open, as a list, on the main page.
Someone, somewhere probably has a mod for it.  But otherwise I mentioned before to maybe change the code for the link and make it flash or be another color and larger.

i think ca3le does intend to put the top active topics back on the main page testmy.net but not sure about anyway to alter the position of what is on the main page of testmy.net/ipb (forum) but there is also (on the main forum page) on the right "recently added topics"
