    Home Time

    How many of you view the Home-Page? (by choice)
    When we logon, our computer defaults to 'Whats New'
    It used to default to the Home-Page before the update so we were always on the homepage, everything happened there.
    But even then, quite a few would miss stuff that was going on because they wouldn't bother looking at the Home-Page ie: Calander Events.
    Personally, I dont visit the home page that often.

    log on, don't you have cookies? I just leave the kb spy tab open, so no, haven't looked at the homepage for months.

    What prompted this thread was Slot-Machine saying in another that he didn't realise the Ambo ride in CH-CH was on today.
    Yet its a Calander Event.

    But I have heard so many say that they dont bother with the Home Page.

    I don't log off and I do get the Home Page, it's just that I don't usually scroll down through it.

    I go straight to "new posts" and then open "mark read" in a new tab. Don't even know whats on the home page - doesn't interest me.

    Heh, I saw this thread and before I opened it I thought of the missed ambo ride. And yes I log on through the settings page for immediate access to subscribed threads and PM's.

    My bookmark is to the forum and to be honest I haven't looked at any of the other tabs. I thought KB was just a forum. I have just looked at the home page for the first time and I have to say, the ads along the top would stop me looking at it again, that and the mad font combinations.

    The home page is rubbish since the upgrade.
    I added a post in spankme 's upgrade thread suggesting the column spacing be adjusted to make it more friendly .. BUT nothing happened

    The old home page had things on it which were old and seldom updated, therefore after a while you bypassed it. I have occassionally gone back to the homepage on this new system, but I could probably count that on one hand

    Mine defaults to the home page. I wonder if their is a setting somewhere.

    Perhaps it is your bookmark? What happens if you log out and then type in http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/ and then log in? Home page or what's new?

    I log on and off at the home page but am still really getting to grips with where everything is on the new format!

    I am trying to get a wee routine so that I can keep up with the play and am making new discoveries as I go!

    Does that help with your question Maha?
