I may not be the most active poster, but I visited the 'Trending page' every day to see what I could learn. That would sometimes then lead me to other sub-forums to seek related information. Without the trending page, I will only visit FT when I have a specific query or information to share - so am only likely to hit one sub-forum per visit. Rather than daily (or multiple daily) visits to FT, I can see this dropping to a few times a month.
If some folks don't value the Trending page, would it be possible to make it available as a link rather than the default landing page?
