Hi,
I couldnt find the old thread so starting a new topic.Admins please merge it if one already exists.
Why has the default page been changed for the web site.I found the old page very convenient to browse through new posts.Now I have to go through as many as seven folders, which sometimes becomes a pain in the rear.Especially when you are checking the site every 15 minutes.
Thanks,
Siddhartha
We were trying to find out which one is more attractive to bring more posters. As previous screen just shows last 15-18 updated post and lot of threads just dies as no one tries to check previous inactive thread even for one of two days.
Plus posters just open new thread without checking already existing threads.
We are just experimenting best way to have more readers and more posters and user friendly forum.
Or we can have one option for those who can have just have recently active thread and they can point there favorite setting to that url.
There is an option on top of current forum page which will take you to latest post.

I think Indian Sports should be a forum by itself rather than be put under General Topics. What do you think, admins?
That way we can do full justice to all Indian sports, not just cricket. <!--emo&:ind--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/india.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='india.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Even if you make a seperate forum for sports........it would be still dominated by all the Sachins, Dravids, Gangulys and off course your's truly Sehwags <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> of this forum.
Not that I've a problem with a seperate forums for sports, in fact I'm in favor of it,
but IMHO the reality is only cricket has Mandira Bedi <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:cool--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/specool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='specool.gif' /><!--endemo-->
No Mandira in Hockey or Soccer or, above all, Kabaddi! <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Siddarth and Sunder, we went thru the stats for each thread and found that 95% of members are just reading and replying to threads in the first page(consisting of just 20 threads), while other more intresting and important threads are never touched. This will also lead the casual users to false conclusion that these topics are hot and others are not.
bookmark that page if need it. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<!--QuoteBegin-rhytha+Mar 29 2004, 10:52 AM-->QUOTE(rhytha @ Mar 29 2004, 10:52 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> so we had changed the home page, but can still access that page here http://india-forum.com/forums/index.php?&act=portal

That works.
WHERE??? <!--emo&:tv--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tv_feliz.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tv_feliz.gif' /><!--endemo--> I watched the entire 5th ODI and scanned the whole crowd, but they only showed the 300-year-old Maharani Gayatri Devi of Wheverer, and a few Paki wimmins with a cumulative IQ of 0.3.
Why don't u guys set up a front page with a few cool pictures? Like Irfan Pathan exulting?? And Mandira Bedi, cometo think of it... <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Plus some picture of the Cuisine Thread...
Seriously.
Also, if anyone is watching TV during the Tests, could u please write a report each day? The "sports-writing" on REDIFF is <!--emo&:flush--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Flush.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Flush.gif' /><!--endemo--> and TOI is anyway all Paki.
We need some serious sports-writing. Link it off the front page every day, with a link to the cricket thread as well.
With these simple things, surely this forum can get into the Top 100, no problem.

Well ladies and gents, I got banned from BRF for being too harsh on the Nehru die-nasty!
I guess I can't be in both the RSS and Kangress at the same time. So it may be good that they kicked me out of the Kangress. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well the the BRF is administered by :f*(k ing traitors who shamelessly conceal themselves under a Hindu sounding name. Hindus have always had such traitors in their midsts and the results of this are very apparent for every one to see. We to learn to live around them
I'm not against that particular forum and in fact I wish them luck, but as you know, if you rub any particular admin on that site the wrong way, you get banned. I had feeling that I was going to get banned soon.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I have a lot to say. I know what the effect will be if I say it here, with so much being said already, so I haven't been saying it.
But I would really like to say it. Anyone of the India Forum website people, can you email me please
