What is the difference between "Latest Posts" and "Latest Profile Posts"? And why does a load of other stuff appear between them?
It seems odd that only about five posts get listed on the front page when you log in to the site and you can't see the various main headings unless you scroll down the page. When you do scroll down you don't get to Corvette Hints and Tips (which seem particularly relevant on a Corvette owner site) until after Humour, Off Topic and various other stuff.
What's the thing that was being discussed yesterday about a "member thread" or some such?
No doubt there will be opportunities to refine the look and feel as time goes by.
There is a bit of redundancy on the new site, but after I've spent some time here, it's relevant to your personal navigation. Click on your name upper right, dropdown box appears, it shows all your posts in your content, you can change or tailor the site preferences to your liking, and many other choices.
Just like anything new, the more you experiment, the more experience you gain, then it becomes quite easy.
Latest posts are what members had posted, which is for public viewing, the "latest profile posts" are discussions between members that are not private and only members can view. If you go to the site and not log in, go to new posts, you won't see the latest profile post there, so non-member's public you won't see.
Latest Profile Posts are not to be confused with "conversations", which are the old pm's (private message).
Hope this helps.
