When you 1st login to this forum, the portal view comes up with your basic stats (right & left) and in the middle is this box that reads Latest News. That's where the most recent posts to the forum are displayed...
...but have you ever really looked at it?
In the lower right corner of this thing is a listing for how many pages there are for this view, numbered (currently) 1 - 551. Sometimes when I'm bored, I hit that far right number there to see the very 1st posts this forum has. I've skimmed the length of them from beginning to present... and I always find something interesting back there, like downloads submitted in the first few years this forum was up that next to nobody of the current members had a clue about.
Keeping in mind this forum has rules against replying to the OLD OLD OLD posts (though you can open new threads asking about old stuff you can link to) I think it can be fun for anyone to read the oldest latest news and see what may be there that you might still wanna use.

Oh yes, I will use it if I read a topic but do not have the time to reply immediately. Some days later it's nearly impossible to rediscover that message I'd like to reply to, but that chronology view helps me with it. (Usually I use the New posts view.)EvilGrins wrote:portal view [...] but have you ever really looked at it?

Do you wanna see my first post on this forum? viewtopic.php?p=17566#p17566
I use the "Latest News" often to look at the newest discussion but mostly I switch to "Unread Posts" because the list is bigger and hidden forums posts are not visible on the portal page.
