I only ever click on the topic headings, anyway. I agree, it's busy. Since we're evolving as a new community, I don't see a problem with testing new look and feel.

If you drop the text the home page will start looking either like a iPad or windows 8 (frankly a live tile like Windows 8 might be better - rotating thread titles under the main section) just a bunch of tiles/icons.
I saw that tried at one point.

I like the plain idea. Saw that during recent testing and it seemed nice.
NodeBB themselves use the front page like we have now and I feel like it is useless.

Agreed, MLs home page is currently useless. The last post in a thread is often meaningless without at least knowing the title of the thread itself.
-
Yes agreed. When I look at the page I have no idea what to do with that view.
-
And on mobile it is way more work than it should be. Much easier to post without all of that.
-
I only use the inbox - it tells me there are new posts and I go through the entire list.
Of course this will be impossible once we reach 300+ posts a day (or maybe a 1000).. but you see my point.

I know I'm new here, but here's my $.02 anyway. Yes, it's pretty hard to read and the most recent replies don't mean much without knowing the topic anyway. I'd rather see just a list of categories (maybe containing a list of the most recent posts in it). The two things I look for are, first, new replies to posts I've already seen and then new posts.

Would it be possible to add some informative text? New visitors don't necessarily know what the site's about.

What should the text say, I wonder.

"Welcome to MangoLassi, a community of IT professionals. Ask questions, give answers, and network with other IT pros from around the globe. Post jobs, discuss current trends, and find solutions to new and existing issues." Something like that, perhaps?

There is a tiny bit if that there now.

Minor front page updates tonight.

I like this new way better, especially on my phone.

Sweet.. the homepage is now just a single page, no more scrolling.

Yeah, that is a lot easier. Looks better too.

Oh i wish it will always like this. No more scrolling, more FUN
-
Though, I still don't consider the homepage very useful.
I like SW's scrolling page of threads to groups that I belong to as well as people I've subscribed to. Once the post count per day/hour become so high that I can't go through them all, that's the only way I'll really see new threads. And with the lack separate groups here I'm not sure how it's going to work.

Much nicer.
