I think I can say that most regular ArmoraManiacs browse the site using Latest post feature (I know I do.. )... The thing I'd like to see in the feature is not only who wrote the last post, but also who started the topic in the first place.. What do you guys think? Jim?

Personally I'm not very interested in who started a topic, but adding it to the forum feature can't do much harm either. So I'd say, if it's not to much programming trouble for Jim, let's have a go at this.

what I'd like to see is a shortcut to the latest posts on the screen you enter the site. Now I have to select "FORUMS" first and then go to the Lastest Post..... So I have to wait for an extra 1.2 seconds before I enter the place where it all happens...

Maybe there is a shorter way to get there.... If there is... please tell !!

There is a shortcut on the home page. Just click "Latest Posts" beside the "Forum Discussions" title.

Maki,
I had the exact same remark. Sometimes it IS useful to see who started a post.
I also think there should be a direct link to the Latest Post page on ALL pages of armorama (e.g. in the features pages, too).

Hi Mario,
Another thing, I´d like to see a link to the various pages on the same post, so we can access the latest post of the topic...what do you think?
Cheers
