I'm trying to determine the usefulness of the home page and the best way to utilize it.  So....

I've bookmarked the home page, but invariably hit What's New right away. I realize this is a bit pointless, but it suits me.

(Also, on my work PC I have to log in every day as the system wipes our cookies overnight, so I need the homepage anyway.)

Ironically I do the same thing and realized the pointlessness of it.  I don't know that I'll change though haha.

Also, that's a drag about having to login every time.

On mobile, I always jump to the "what's new" page. On desktop, the home page has a "whats new" section which sometimes I use.

I have this site bookmarked to the homepage.  Then I always go to ‘view new posts.’

Thanks everyone. Keep the results coming.

We're trying to decide the direction of the home page. Obviously I need to do more updating on a regular basis, but with what content and to what end.

I hit the home page to log on each day.

Funny enough, Transportation & Infrastructure is my favorite section, so I leave that until last!

"View unread posts" for me too but occasionally it stops tracking a thread I follow and I won't notice for months.
