Yep, they did pretty much exactly what I was hoping they'd do with it. No more scouring through tons of threads to find the latest/relevant info. Just check those 2 pinned topics and you're all set .

no more worrying about what I might have missed since my last visit etc.

You could have always just gone to the forum index and clicked "View new posts". That gives you everything since your last visit.

Yep, and I've done it, but it really sucks, especially when there are long news articles and articles with tons of images. It ends up being only a few articles per page so you have to look through each article all the way down the page, then click the next button or the number and keep going. It's harder doing that than simply looking through threads. At least with threads, it's just a text list of topic names.

It's all about convenience now Burn. Alot of members were calling for an ease of access in regards to third party news and this is the solution that Duke and I have piled up.

Ah, I thought you meant view the news like previous news articles.

Yes, I know how view new posts works, but then I'd have to filter through all of the comments which aren't actual news/info (of which there's generally a TON of course ).

Yes heaven forbid we get you to join in on other discussions.

I do that plenty (and even still do now with the pinned topics) but when I'm looking for news, I'm looking for news, not discussions by other members about news.

It's the same reason the news articles on the main page exist I assume, so that they can advertise and show the latest news, then when I'm done reading that, I can take a look at the comments and join in on the discussion if I wish.

Dude, I was joking.

No dude, you were totally serious, I could tell by the tone in your voice and I'm deeply offended by the gross accusations you've made. I have never seen that platypus before and on the night in question I was nowhere near that Baskin Robins .
