<p>[QUOTE="Peter T Davis, post: 946935, member: 1"]I know some of you have been wondering why I put the 'Home' tab on the menu bar. When it first got up there, it had some problems, many of you couldn't see anything other than a 'you aren't allowed here' message. You gotta just learn to laugh when stupid stuff like that happens! There is a method to the madness, though, and it's about time I let you all in on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of you will recall the "Thread of the Week" that we had going on up until it broke a few months back. With full intentions of fixing up that soon, here's the rest of it. The driving reason for the TotW, of course, is to give recognition to the great articles that people have posted on CoinTalk. There's so much information in there that it's a great shame to let it all drift down into the oblivion of the second, third, etcc. page of threads. So, first there was a Hall of Fame type page to show all the ones that got voted TotW. That wasn't enough, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, one of the great features with this new version of the forum software is the ability to take a post and make it into a feature article on the home page. Now, you can see where I'm going. The next step is to create a section on Home for all of these great articles. So, instead of slipping away as more and more new threads push the TotW quality ones down the list, we'll have a section at the Home where we can easily access to them anytime we wish. </p><p><br /></p><p>Naturally, where any new feature comes into play there's always wrinkles to iron out. I think I have most of them down now, but one. A few of you have seen this too. When there's an article on the Home section, it's confusing to know where the "comments" are. These TotW posts started out as discussion threads, and that won't go away. The problem is that by default the software creates the 'comments' which will be confusing because there's already a discussion thread. So, it's going to be harder to find where to actually post, and I need to make sure that all the replies to an article get to the same place, no split discussions. I'm working on it!</p><p><br /></p><p>So, there it is, in a nutshell. I'm thinking that everyone is going to like this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
