Coco, currently there is not any specific reason to use the front page other than the utility of being able to see what discussions have had posts recently , how many members have visited, and how many posts have been made in the past hour.

The recent members is a count of all members who have logged in whether to check new messages or view member areas. Messages posted are total message, in all areas of the board, posted in the last hour. Recent active threads are actual links to the last 10 posts made on the board, generally within public areas of the board (no member area, a caring place, etc. will show in that area currently).

It does look spectacular, Dra! But I have a question...

... Can non-members access the links to A Caring Place and Members Folders, and other 'sensitive' areas?

I went into shock--thinking I was at some foreign site! But of course I realized quickly some mad mind must have been hard at work to present the Taj Majal of opening pages. Wow, Dra, it does underscore the mind-boggling possibilities here! Kudos on all your hard work!

Mameblanche: No, the new front page offers no way around the board security. The images you see in the center of the screen are actually handmade replicas of the areas depicted, not actual links into those areas. I was extremely careful to use the least 'sensitive' thread titles I could find in each of those images while still giving a glimpse of what was inside. Anyone wishing to venture into those areas, however, will still need to be a member to do so.

It looks interesting. I always go directly to the search screen but maybe I’ll start having an occasional look at the front page. How often are the front page statistics updated? Any way to show who is here (or maybe people would rather be anonymous with their visits)?

Jimmer: The information presented at the bottom of the page is generated at the time of request for the page. As up to date as it can possibly be. If you refresh the page, it will update again with the latest information.

Dra, you did do a fabulous job with the front page!! Congratulations and a hearty thank you!

I'm going to change my bookmark so it goes there first. I love the statistics provided about the number of members who have visited and the number of posts made in the last hour.

I have a question.

I know there are "lurkers" out there that are registered as members but who don't actually post, they just read. Is is netiquette to post the sceenanmes of all registered members and the date they last logged on, perhaps in the Members Only Area?

If not, can you please educate me on why.

Thanks Dra.

one of the things i like about TVCH is the privacy. i personally don't want someone tracking when i was last logged on. some days i'm not up to posting (due to not feeling well, or other reasons), and i don't want someone to think i'm rude because i didn't post in their folder on days i wasn't able to . i hope that educates ya coco on my reasons for not wanting it.

Landi, your last log-in date is in your profile for all members to read. I'm hoping and assuming that nobody judges others on whether or not they only lurk on some days. We all have reasons such as time or energy or whatever.

Coco is referring to members who never post (so there is no profile to click on), and so we don't know they exist. Personally, I have no problem with not knowing that they exist only to lurk. It's their privacy.

Actually, that brings up sort of an idea. Other forums do have "member list" links you can click on. Although I don't think most of those type have the "last logged in" date. There are times when I'd like to PM someone, and I have to go searching around for one of their last posts to find their profile so I can PM them. And sometimes I get to thinking how I haven't seen someone on the board in a while, and do the same thing (go searching for an old post so I can click on their profile so I can see if they've posted/logged in lately).

It would be nice to have a centralized list where I can find people easier to PM and such.

But, I also understand why that may not be the way people would like it done. So far I've been able to get what I need done through the search feature.

Who, you can also just click on anybody's profile to get the main part of the addy:

http://www.tvclubhouse.com/cgi-bin/forum/board-profile.cgi?action=view_profile&profile=whoami-users

and then just take their name out of the addy (see it in the line between profile and users?), and replace it with the name of the person's profile you want. Example:

http://www.tvclubhouse.com/cgi-bin/forum/board-profile.cgi?action=view_profile&profile=babyruth-users

I deleted whoami from the copied basic profile addy and substituted the name babyruth.

Hey landi, as you already know, your last log in date does indeed show in your profile. I'm glad I was able to teach you something new through my question to Dra.

As for my question, I was just wondering about those who are registered members but who do not post and may be lurkers. I don't see it as a right to privacy for them, but I'm open to understanding why this is a school of thought.

The way I see it currently, is if someone can come here to lurk in our Members Area, then why can't I or perhaps others know about their existence and when they last logged in to read the board?

Is that really a privacy issue? I'm not convinced, but as I said, I'm open to being educated.

Don't anyone look for me lol. We are all adults and will post when we want and don't when we don't want to. Personally I don't care if my name shows up or not.

That'd be like the public library posting a list of everyone who has a card and the last time they used it. Basic privacy issue in my book. (no pun intended)

I'm gonna start stalking you around the board Mocha! LOL. No, not really. I don't have time to post hardly, let alone actively stalk someone!

When I do go looking for someone (other than to PM or contact them somehow), its not so much that I care if they've posted or not, just that I get concerned about them and want to try and find out if they're ok.

Thanks Babyruth! That looks easier than any way I've ever tried!
