Not perfect but offers an option to nothing at all.
Half the time I am here I am using my WebTV which will not open new windows, and the other half on my computer with it's original small monitor which is little better.
Now, of course, you should not program to your lowest common denominator and perhaps what we (jellybean, Stop Legal Plunder, sweetliberty, etc.) are asking is tougher programming than appears on the surface, but the addition of an "ALL Forums Latest Posts" page would seem to be a simple opt-in addition.
The "Home Page" I am sent to upon opening my browser now is the "News/Activism" Latest Post page. I (and many others) "stick" there. It is FR and, hence, why you get the "junk threads" posted there.
By having posts show up on TWO places (the "Latest Posts" page of it's individual category AND the all encompassing "ALL Forums Latest Posts" page) you satisfy the complaints off BOTH parties without changing the current dynamics...just a simple (?) addition.
[To our webmaster experts] Are we wrong here?
