Uhh... every forum page (for example, OMNI ) has an announcement at the top titled "New FlyerTalk home page is live!" dated 6 November.

So, no, it's not just you. :confused::confused:

Ok, for a second there I thought that indeed I was in Amsterdam, but then realized that I was even further east and south of that, many hrs further...:D

There was a blog entry on the Gate. It will also be covered in the next Talk Mail.

This really demonstrates the challenges of getting messages read that we do our best to get out boardwide.

Do I still get a tootsie pop next time I see you?

For Internet Brands, feedback on the homepage from the Talkboard candidates can be found here.

And we're still friends ;) :) and do you really have to ask the question? ;) :D

Now your point of "getting the word out" is valid and VERY important as with me who has the log-in page bookmarked, I'm gonna miss the new page. Plus, and maybe it's me or maybe it's not me, but I have never been able to read ANY announcement on my iPhone as the announcement title is there but when opening it, it shows blank so unless it's a very important one which will cause me to log out from the app on my phone and go in via the main desktop site using Safari on my phone, I'm gonna space on the announcement the next time I log in via the desktop site

And no am not drunk and have not had a drink in a few days.

Am still trying to figure it out.

Please see this thread for an explanation.

We have also shifted your thread over to Technical Issues where it's perhaps more apropos.

Thanks.

Merged threads.

FWIW I really like the new format and find it more like a table of contents page in a glossy magazine. In this case I say change is good. ^

I do miss the box with most recent posts on the front page.
Hope this feature will be restored.

This is the feature I miss the most, it took me into forums I would never have thought of visiting - Please bring it back.

+1000

This was one of my favorite features as I always discovered new content from it and kept me on the site more. Without it I will spend less time on Flyertalk.

This is the ONLY feature I used regularly. There are too many forums to visit for updates without it. It is a "must" feature. Please bring it back.:confused:

Same here. Strongly agree. What was the rationale for removing it?

Also, I don't understand why "Your Most Recent Thread" (promo box at right side) points to a random one I started 12 years ago.

IBobi Nov 12, 2012 6:21 pm

For those who miss "5 most recent threads" have you tried the "New Posts" link in the forums?

Yes, if there was a way to filter out the OMNI forums, it would be a decent alternative.

There is a way, see my post #8 in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...ni-forums.html

Thanks, that looks good. I've bookmarked it and will try it for a couple of days to see if it seems a good alternative to the lost functionality.

Please bring this back! I can't use FT without this feature
