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?
Sorry, we do not have such a feature at this time. Do not know if we ever will.

That answer was in response to the following question.......
Anyone opting in to the "ALL latest posts" would/should be aware that that's what they're gonna get. Therefore, they have nothing to complain about.
Thus at this stage it seems opening multiple windows or swithing between forums every so often is the only option...
If the "ALL forum posts" option was available, I wouold choose that as my default starting page.
BTW, eddie, I'm impressed by the length of your responses. You always claimed you were a slow typist. I don't think that's the case anymore :)
