Main Landing Page

Is it customizable per user?

Does not appear to be. The skin is, the landing page is not.

The Recent view would be the best view to land someone on IMO.

The problem with landing a new person teaching them about the forums structure.

When starting a new topic from the Recent view, the category selection is not in an obvious place. It is way off to the right.

Also a more general style complaint, the Topic title and tags are not clearly defined "boxes" even though the text is there.

I noticed imgur not working here too.

I like the idea of recents rather than categories. I never use the categories.

Recent seems logical to me. I don't really care either way.

I prefer the unread view, but that should not be a landing page. because people landing may not be signed in or even members.

Seems like a trend, made the change. Let's see how people like it.

Direct link to the categories, if anyone needs it...

Any chance of making Categories an icon on the top bar?

Will need to figure out how to make that happen.

Yeah we need it back. It's too disorganized to find anything now.

scottalanmiller

What were you trying to find via the categories page? In what way was it enabling sorting? Were you going into specific categories to look for content?

scottalanmiller

The page still exists, it just has no icon currently.

NodeBB has an icon for a direct link to that page. Might be something that is implemented in 0.9.0, which we can't move to because of avatar and broken script issues. But this might be something that fixes itself soon.

scottalanmiller

And we just implemented it!! Check the navigation bar for the third icon, between recent and tags. Does that satisfy everyone?
