I had an idea this morning

Usually when I go to this site the first thing I do is to look at the five latest posts in the forums which are displayed on the front page, to see what's going on. I'm guessing most people do the same since usually there are five posts from the same thread showing up on the front page.

I figgure that if that was changed to show the five threads which were last posted in then there would be more topics going on rather than just one.
It could show exactly what it shows today for each individual entry but instead of the latest post it would show the most recently updated thread.

You can't help noticing that usually there is just one hot thread here on TWHL which everybody posts in, and I'm guessing that has to do with the front page. I think if we turned it into the five most recently updated threads instead then the lifespan of the threads would be prolonged, and there would be a wider range of discussions going on on the same time.

Do you guys agree, or is it just me?

I agree. This happens because most of the members are probably too lazy to look through the forums and they resume themselves to the first page.

I just click on forums and open up a tab for every board that's green, then again for every green thread in each. But yes, I agree, that would be a better feature.

It's a good point, and it's been brought up a few times now, so I guess I should do something about it
Stay tuned.

You could still display the latest post from the threads, just keep the frontpage the way it is [It shows the thread title as the subject and the message as the content], and just make it so that it doesn't 'pile up' replies the way it does now, and instead just bumps it up and updates the content of the message.

Agreed. This would make more traffic into other threads rather then one only.

Hold onto your panties! It's gonna be implemented in TWHL4!

While we are on the subject, could we PLEASE change the site color scheme, this color scheme isn't all that cool.

The current color scheme is a signature of this community. I'd agree to add the ability to change the color under the control panel, if you don't like this one.
Just look at this map. It is centered around a TWHL color scheme, and it looks awesome.

Heh, uhhhh... yeah.That's my community pride for you.

EDIT: I keep forgetting I ever changed it. This colour scheme feels very natural.

I have the same color scheme as Scotch on firefox, but i've been using chrome more lately so its just classic orange.

Looks cool. How did you change it? :>

Looks great, Penguinboy. Nice one!

Thanks. It's going to take me a little while to get used to the new home page, though

Ah, it's horrible, put it back! Just kidding.

Good work, I'm sure this was a good move.

Ah this is such a nice improvement. Thank you, Penguinboy.

Awesome.
Looks a lot cleaner too.

Awesome. Now I can avoid certain threads with certain members in them.

Usefuk.

fuk yeah

Great! Thanks Pengy

Looks good! Will take a bit to get used to, though. But an improvement nevertheless.

Whoops, I was about to complain about the bullets, until I read the news post.

Man it looks so much better now.

Cool front page update. Two thumbs up

We needed this for quite some time. Finally.

HELL YES. PEGUINBOY IS WEBSITE PROGRAMING BEAST.

Does this mean TWHL4 is going to be made/released the same way the current version of the Source engine was? Ie, in small increments of awesomeness?

Hell no. The code is too shit.

Though the same could be said about the Source engine!

They really need to overhaul that engine. :/
