New FT homepage?
Logged off FT & then remembered I needed to post something, so logged on. Totally different home page 'look'.
One thing missing (as far as I can tell) is some of the parts/links that existed before on the homepage, such as registering for FT, TOS, FAQs, My Flyertalk, etc.
Are they there somewhere, or did they disappear w/ the new homepage & are in a sub-page?
BTW - for others, if you click ALL under your handle when it shows you last thread you read, that will take you to My Flyertalk as you normally/are used to see it.
Cheers.

Just loaded FT again & saw that. However, the FAQs, New to FT, etc, tabs that were 1/2-way down the home page on the old version & would be helpful to newbies don't exist on the home page anymore - unless I missed that part too.
Cheers.
Cheers.

When I was logging in just now I accidently clicked on sign-up & the following popped up (along w/ a box to agree to the FT guidelines & a link to them).
"FlyerTalk features discussions and chat boards that covers the most up-to-date traveler information. An interactive community dedicated to your favorite topic: frequent flyer miles! That's right: all miles, all the time. The FlyerTalk forums are open for business 24 hours, 7 days a week. Even better, all travelers -- from vacation travelers to mileage junkies -- are welcome in the community. Just enroll and you can get to the business at hand: conversing about programs, how to make the most of your miles and points, general travel, airports, destination and dining information."
I wouldn't mind something similar on the home page. Right now the homepage just says "the largest online travel community".
Cheers.

If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have known the homepage had changed as I have the log-in page bookmarked but when looking at the new homepage (and maybe it's because I'm logged in), imho, it's way too busy

goalie, because we're friends, I'll risk embarrassing you a bit. There is a site wide announcement up:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...-live-549.html
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.

No, am on the other side of the world, totally opposite
. Besides, don't the new rules apply AFTER Jan?
. But, frankly do you see the new opening page?
I have a screenshot, but don't know how to post it here, should I do it as I do photos?
