One positive idea to help make things a little easier....

I thought I'd post it here so the devs can see:

Pistonhead devs - a simple solution is to link what's new with the users favorite forum list.

Job done.

Subscribe to fav forums (all old p+p ones) then click what's new.

This has the benefit of meaning you need to be "in the know" to get the old p+p back-thus keeping the old members happy and it confuses the new spammers.

Just my 2p.

That's exactly what happens now.

No it doesn't. I have subscribed to all the old P&P Forums in an attempt to get a P&P "feel" back, but when I click what's new I get ALL the crap, Jaguar, Mustang... I didn't subscribe to that!

Please make it so the what's new has an extra link:

"What's new in your forum favorites"

Then I get my old P&P back...

Thanks PH Team

In which case you must have subscribed to Jaguar and Mustang. Or you've broken it...

[stuart-b]

Seems Will you have already done it as per below thread, but how come my preferences show all? Yet I only subscribed to a few...? Will check it.

I have re-checked and it seems to be working

Looks like someone tweaked the query. Good job.

How about making "big blue" the default theme for all new members? I just found it and it's much better...

Glad you got it sorted, sounds like you might have had it set to "Show All Forums" rather than "Show Favourites" (there is a toggle in the top right)

We are planning to make Big Blue the default for new members soon, I'm glad you've found it and like it! We won't be changing the skin for any existing members though.
