So I open up armorama like I always do through my favorites tab, and normally I take a quick scan when the homepage shows up. This is for one thing to see anything of interest before entering the forums and to also check if I have any new PM's(I know if I do before I get Homer Simpson to tell me). And what do I see next to my name? "See what's new." Well it is new and I like it! Not only is it just there, but it actually makes me see what's new because it is like a reminder. Keep up the good work fella's, you too Jim.

Good idea. With a bit of luck it'll help to stop duplicate posting of a few themes, such as the news items on new releases - no excuses for not seeing the initial reports now! :-)

Just so everyone knows the What's New "page" has been there for over a year. 2 maybe? The link has been located about an inch away on the screen right below the newer link.

The link may have been there for a while, but it's new position makes it more prominent and more likely to get hit (IMHO)

It has been on my screen thing and it never goes away. I logged in one day, clicked on the link, the link is a nusance as I hope to have PM and all it says is "Welcome back, SkateOrDie! See Whats New."
So please put the "What's New" link where it used to be as I would be very appreciated. Thanks for your time. - Luke Harden a.k.a. SkateOrDie

Roo and Luke. Fear not! Instead, look at where the 'What's New' used to be and ... It's still there! About 1 cm lower and 1 cm to your left. :-)

Hit CTRL + F5 keys at the same time. That might refresh your cached page.
