I would have thought these would switch out now and again, but they seem to be rather static. Should we as members go to the photo contest area and start new discussions of photos we like, or...? I think all of them would be worthy of a bit of exposure and comment, there were some really outstanding photos.

You sure can do that, but I'll be replacing that section with a basic "All new threads" experiment soon.

Ok. I'll just wait and see what's up your sleeve. Must be play time!

Oh, I like that new look. I don't watch all the forums, so active threads are a great way to jump in when my interest is piqued.

I like it too. I rarely traveled down to the bottom of the home page, so I like the threads in this new prominent position.

I love having the new threads on the right side!

I have no use for internet bullies!

I agree with the others.

Since I only follow a few forums it's nice to see the "news" on the right side. It grabs the eye and makes folks want to visit different forums, to branch out and join new conversations. When that space was occupied by the featured plants it looked (to my eye) like too much empty white space. This is a good change.

I was wondering something.
What do non-members see on the home page when they visit the ATP site? Is it the same thing that we see?
