<p dir="auto">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 <strong>Category View</strong> rather than the "Recent Posts" feed.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor-offset" name="why-this-change"></a>Why this change?</h3>
<p dir="auto">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.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor-offset" name="what-this-means-for-you"></a>What this means for you:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Better Organization:</strong> You will now select a category first, ensuring your post reaches the right audience.</li>
<li><strong>Visibility of Rules:</strong> By entering a category, you will automatically see the <strong>Category Description</strong> and <strong>Pinned Posts</strong> (like the guidelines in <a class="plugin-mentions-category plugin-mentions-a" href="/category/100/general" aria-label="Profile: general">@<bdi>general</bdi></a> discussion).</li>
<li><strong>Read Before You Post:</strong> This extra step ensures everyone is aware of the specific rules for a section before hitting "Submit."</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">In addition to this, <strong>you will no longer be able to change your default homepage</strong>. Moving forward, you can access the recents page by clicking on the sidebar or clicking the link directly.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Sidebar View:</strong><br />

<p dir="auto"><strong>Category Page:</strong><br />
<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1773431813760-2680.jpg" alt="2680.jpg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Do not be upset over this decision, your actions are ultimately the reason this decision is made. <strong>If you have an problem with this, take it up in a complaint thread, not our DMs!</strong><br />
