Re: Missing links

Home page for the Forum or home page for Canon Rumors? The recent topics link is there for the Forum Home Page, but only popular topics is there on the CR Home page, the link to recent posts is not there that I could see.
You can also find unread posts at the top right of the forum pages, that's the one I usually use.
I'd send a message to CR guy, he may have removed it by accident.

Hi,
On the home page, right hand side there used to be two sets of links. The popular posts links are still there but the other which listed newer/newest posts seems to have disappeared?

Of the two I find popular posts to be the less useful as it remains fairly static

You might check the other thread for two alternatives.

Agree 110%. I dig into Popular Posts a couple of times a year, it's kind of useless but the Recent Posts list is my go-to place in CR, it's generally a perfect summary of current discussions, ideal for a time poor shooter for whom 10 minutes in CR is a break from work, an indulgence with a cup of coffee. It's the perfect front-door launchpad into the Forums. This feature needs an immediate return.

Without the Recent Posts feature, CR instantly becomes a considerably less useful place for me, without it I anticipate spending less time here.

CR Guy? Do you listen in here?

I'll take MSPs advice and send Craig a note. Perhaps we all should

Personally, I skip the CR main page entirely. I just use the 'show unread posts since last visit' link at the top right of the forum pages. That shows all unread posts, not just the 10 most-recently active topics (what if something I'm really interested in is #12?). All the news items on the home page have a corresponding forum post (although it sometimes lacks the images), so I don't miss any main page updates.

My advice is to just bookmark the following:
