To improve the quality of our discussions and ensure that posts are easy to find, we have updated the forum's default homepage. Users will now land on the Category View rather than the "Recent Posts" feed.

Why this change?

We’ve noticed many "regular" topics being posted in specialized technical categories. This often happens because the recent feed bypasses the context of where a post actually belongs.

What this means for you:

• Better Organization: You will now select a category first, ensuring your post reaches the right audience.
• Visibility of Rules: By entering a category, you will automatically see the Category Description and Pinned Posts (like the guidelines in @general discussion).
• Read Before You Post: This extra step ensures everyone is aware of the specific rules for a section before hitting "Submit."

In addition to this, you will no longer be able to change your default homepage. Moving forward, you can access the recents page by clicking on the sidebar or clicking the link directly.

Do not be upset over this decision, your complaints are ultimately the reason this decision is made. If you have an problem with this, take it up with your community, not us!
