Just out of curiousity.....
« on: May 23, 2009, 08:35:49 PM »
How many of you like the "HOME" page.  do you use it regularly?  is there anything about it you like the best?  don't like it at all?  never used it? don't know what I"m talking about?  check out the home page.

I've been using it since I installed it and I love it....live Doppler Radar, Current BIBE Gas Prices, Latest Posts....It's nice.  Just curious if anyone else has enjoyed it as well....comments please

One recommendation: could you make the Window Webcam image link to the full-size version?

I especially like the expanded latest posts.  Very very nice cure for the limits of the Forum page.  I use it all the time.  The radar is a very nice feature too.

From habit I too go straight to the unread posts and then sometimes let it go to the home page. The home page does have some interesting things like radar and gas prices but the latest posts are the most important things for me.

this is what I used to do, however, since the recent posts are on the front page now, I don't do that.  I actually like the recent posts on the home page better

  I like it as well :eusa_clap: ..and for the reasons you stated. I also access the site from different computers at work where I usually pick the one hour option to log in and I don't have any short cuts on the desktop to go to specific pages. I end up on the home page by default.
