Thoughts on ommiting Intro's from the Whats New tab

I think I found a way to omit the introductions from the Whats New tab.

A lot of people have complained about the whats new button bringing up all the intro posts from people wanting manuals, etc.

I'm happy to do this if we all want it but my only concern will be the lack of welcoming of new members as most of us will just go to the Whats New tab and forget to welcome new members.

Any thoughts on this?

I'll do poll at the top to find out what the majority want too, please vote above or discuss below.

Ok, yep I can omit the entire introductions forum from the whats new code if the majority want this to happen or not.

Would be a pity if new members are not welcomed as I am sure that most Forum Members would not go to Introduction Thread

Yeah that's my only concern really Bob.

I'd say see how it goes. If you see a huge drop in intros then you can always swap it back..

I like doing intros as I gets that post count up... Lol
Ow and promotes the business..

Actually....

What if I change the "NEW POSTS" link in the grey navbar to exclude the introductions forum.

So members can have the choice. If it really annoys you to see the introductions in the whats new section you can simply use the "NEW POSTS" button in the grey area.

I have just changed that code to omit the Testing Area and as you can see my TEST OMIT post is not in the latest posts results if you click on that link.

Maybe that's a win win for everyone.

Everyone will normally use the Whats New feature but if it really ships you to tears you are welcome to use the grey nav NEW POSTS button.

bout time u listened 2 me!!!

Got my Vote now

From my experience when joining, I wasn't expecting much but was surprised and enjoyed the amount of welcomes I received. That why I now like welcoming every new member. Co you just never know who you gonna get.
Yes it can be annoying but just might get one to hang around like I did. Lol
