  • The good ole days.
I didn't see this brought up anywhere, but apologize if it had been.  I've noticed over the last few days that either the Latest Forum Topics box on the main page or in the Forum page is not updating correctly.  When I go to the Home page, there is one order of recent topics/posts, but when I click on one to go into the forums, the order is now different. 

It's not a huge deal I guess, but I did like that feature on the old site so that I knew when a thread I was active in had been updated.

Thanks!

The Latest Forum Topics widget in the forums is operating correctly, as it updates as soon as a new post is made in the forums.

On the front page, the updates lag behind approximately 5 minutes.  This is because the front page and the forums aren't "bridged" (which is also why we have to log in twice.)  Therefore, the widget on the front page gets its updates on a feed from the forums, which updates every 5 minutes.

So, for now, treat the links on the front page as a rough idea of what the hot topics in the forum are, whereas the links from the forums page are exactly the same as they were before the switch.
