I’ll look into this. I rarely, if ever, visited the front page in the past. Is the current content different than it was pre-upgrade?

i agree with @Diego-Bucks . the articles seem much more voluminous with this new version.

not quite sure why. and i didn't necessarily have anything blocked or a different setting under bpSpy / vBulletin.

not a big thing, and i hadn't even thought of it until Diego mentioned it.

Good question. I'm not actually sure - my old bookmarked link to BP no longer works in the new update so now I get to BP through the front page. My previous experience was to browse the latest threads in the forums and go to one that interests me. I can't recall ever actually seeing the 'News' section in my latest activity threads other than stuff that the Admins posted, like big updates from Clarity. That feels different enough under the update, mostly because none of the News articles in the 'Latest Threads' section actually interest me (they feel too clickbaity) and they seem regularly submitted/updated by non-BP contributing writers. So I feel like I don't get a sense of where the latest activities are as easily as I used to. That might just be my experience under the new updates though.

I guess the essence of my issue is that I'm finding it slightly harder (but not all that hard) to find the threads/updates that I'd like to see compared to what I used to, and instead I'm finding it easier to see threads/updates that I don't really have any interest in. So I'm just curious if I can modify things enough to get more of what I'd like to see.

So, it seems the logic behind this was spelled out by Clarity in this thread...

News Feeds/Working on Truncation

I'm working on importing news feeds from blogs near and dear to BP. The goal is to provide a lead-in with truncated content, and if that can't be done with code on my end I'll reach out to the admins at the blogs in question to see if they have truncated feeds. The goal, really, is to turn...

I need some time to consider if this actually drives subscribers or is just a nuisance to current subscribers, including me btw. :cool:

Thanks for this. I was moreso wondering if there were a way to filter out all the News items (e.g., LGHL, Google News) etc., that dominate the website home page:

I'd love to see more BP content in the 'Latest threads' rather than all the news website contributions. Like, I definitely don't care too much about coming to BP to read a Kobe Bryant article on another website, for example. I don't mind it once in a while to see some other stuff going on, but I am finding it distracting to come here and see a bunch of non-BP threads popping up on the activity feed. Maybe there can be a bit of a limit on how many 'News' threads pop up in the Latest threads list?

These should be gone from the front page now. Check it out.

We just created a new color scheme called Black Out (see screenshot below). You should now have four color palettes from which to choose: Day Game (currently the default); Evening Game; Night Game; and Black Out.

Also, we changed the default avatars, so if you don't have a custom avatar you will get one of the following, which will change depending on which color scheme is being used by the person viewing your posts....
