    Hi

    Does anyone know how to get to the Home Front Page from the forums or any page on the site? The home icon only goes to the page which lists all the new posts. I can only get the front page if I find it on search results on Google or any search engine. I want the Front Page to be the first page I see when I visit this website.

    Many thanks in advance!

    If you look at the main tab bar you will see "What's New" "Forum" "Blogs" "The End Is Here!" and "Donations". The Forum tab will take you to the main page of our forum. I haven't been able to locate a way to default it to that page when arriving, but one only needs to click on it to go to the main page.

    Hi Londoner,

    You may do as I do myself if it's of help.

    You can create a bookmark/shortcut leading to this forum and put in there the URL of your choice. Personally, I chose the "get daily" URL so I can have all the new messages posted in the last 24 hours gathered in one page. If you prefer the Home Front Page, just copy and paste in the bookmark/shortcut the URL to the Home Front Page and that's it !

    Hi Joshuastone :)

    Thanks for your reply. I don't want the main page of the forum, but the FRONT PAGE of the whole website. It has "Front Page" in big letters, and an overview of the whole site: posts, shout box, blogs, etc. I've been Goggling, and can't get that front page anymore. The "Home" icon should take you to this page, but it only goes to the "What's New" page for the forums.

    Hi Utuna :)

    Please see my reply to Joshuastone. I used to have the URL in my favourites for the Front Page. But I can't get it anymore. Can you give me the URL for the Front Page for the entire overview of the whole site? Not the "What's New" page for the forums.

    Hi Londoner :)

    I remember from Robert's site that he had a front page - he often used to post pictures on it or he would post a link to an article on e-watchman. On the right hand side of the front page, I remember that there used to be a list of recent posts on the discussion board (which showed who had posted what and how recent their post was.) I think I can picture the page in my mind.

    Hi Wallflower :)

    Yes, that is the page I remember at E-Watchman. This website here also had a similar page until recently!

    Dear Londoner,

    I don't know what caused the problem that you're having but I think that it must be the major server update that took place a few months ago. Maybe that that feature was removed in the new version of VBulletin. As you were absent from here for a while (or just didn't sign in), maybe that it is only recently that this problem caught your attention.

    I'm sorry. I don't have a better answer to give you, I wish I had.
