Hi,

We have updated the Homepage so that we can now feature Popular Topics and Latest Topics right on the first page of India Forums.

It should help our members to explore interesting topics.

This is only visible when the site visitor is logged in to the site as a member.

Cheers,

Hi Vijay, I just came to comment on the same since I couldn't find a separate thread for it.

I love the new look of the homepage!

Also, I have a suggestion. Wouldn't it be better if the "Latest Topics" tab displayed threads from the forums which we are following only? Or maybe have a separate tab which shows the active topics from our favourite forums? (ie topics which have had replies within the last 24 hours)

Is it possible to hide/not use this feature? I actually prefer the old layout as I'm not interested in seeing a bunch of posts from forums that I'm not completely interested in.

Or, at the very least have an option to "lock" which of the three tabs we would like to peruse when visiting the homepage. For example, I would like to glimpse through the "Announcements" tab only when I first come onto the site; not the Popular or Latest Topics.

Max Visit Streak:

Max Visit Streak is a new addition to our forum that records your highest consecutive visit streak. It keeps track of the longest period during which you have visited the forum every day without interruption. This means that even if you miss a day and your Visit Streak count gets reset, your Max Visit Streak will remain as a record of your best performance.

Max Visit Streak Count Date:

To complement the Max Visit Streak, we've also introduced the Max Visit Streak Count Date. This feature shows you the date on which your longest streak began. It's a reference point that helps you understand when you achieved your personal best.

Please reopen this thread as issue has restarted.

So true, one has to scroll to find the desired channels. It's too much.

I think "Announcements" tab should be set as default, right now it's "Popular" one and people won't even bother to look at Announcements so what's the point of having them?

I just noticed that All Things Korean was missing from my view of the Private Forums: Joined list. At first, I thought I got banished by the Creator/Manager, but my profile's Favorites: Forums page still listed All Things Korean.

Visiting the forum, I realized that it became a public forum 16 days ago, so I unfollowed it.

Could India Forums send an automatic notification to a private forum's members whenever it becomes public?

Among other differences from private forums, public forums can be tagged by books in the Fan Fiction section, which are then featured on the right hand side of the forum's list of topics. I don't know if India Forums has any Korean fan fictions yet; I only retold a story from Samguk Sagi, and I thought about making it a book in the Fan Fiction section, but "All things Korean" isn't showing up in the Content tags field.

Is this a glitch? When a private forum becomes public, it doesn't get a Content tag in the Fan Fiction section?

Could private forums also get Content tags in the Fan Fiction section, either automatically or upon request?

By the way, both times I received a notification that ___ created a topic in your favourite forum. "___" the notification remained highlighted in the list no matter how many times I clicked it.

- Thank you for this suggestion. We will look into this.

- We don't have any Feature in which we can tag forums regardless it private or public. We can tag only shows, movies or celebrities which are added in our database.

- Changes related to this are done and published to live website.

Hope this has provided the clarity you were seeking.

Click on your dp in top rha corner. Click on settings. Log in and the search for External Logins. Remove FB. That should work, ig.
