CR4 Tip

07/18/2019 9:03 AM

I've used this as the CR4 home page in my bookmarks for years.

I'm sure that others that have been around for awhile do this as well.

If this were everyone's home page the site would be more active. (virtual guarantee)

I get the urge to add to old postings... but if only 2% of users will ever see it as a "new post" there is little reason to do so and things stagnate.

Moderators? Users? Make the switch.

It could be, but it's not... it's good, but it's missing current input from users.

take a moment to find the difference.

No it's not, this is the front page....the page you're looking at is available from the front page under "see all forum threads" ...Oh ok, I see what you're saying, this lists the posts last commented on in order...nice option

Thanks for bringing this up. We've recently been kicking around some ideas on how to reinvigorate the front page.

There are obviously a lot of moving pieces to this, so I can't speak in commitments. But if any of our ideas (or this one) gets traction, you can expect an announcement or update this year.

Thanks again!

JE has a good idea - some sort of weekly 'blast from the past' notification on an older thread that has been recently added to ? It might interest newer members, and there are many threads that simply (amicably) tailed-off.

Ha ! Nothing on the internet ever goes, ya minx. I have other links on various sites, and I'm not afraid to use them . I'm rather exited since it's less (probably a lot less) than Best In Show thwarts any mention of Birmingham NEC next year.
