Watching forums

No can do. And there's definitely no meta-view like the old homepage. An alert for new topics in watched forums would be nice, but I don't think the software supports it.

 

I was actually coming to ask the same thing. The new forums are great, my one complaint would be the lack of the homepage's combined forum listing. I guess it's not really a complaint, rather I think that there will be a lot less conversation going on in many of them as you have to actively look in each forum vs. passively doing so as before.

The trade forum obviously doesn't seem to suffer this problem, but I would find it kind of sad if the trade forum continued to have more discussions in it than all the rest combined. We would move further from a "craft beer community" and more toward a "beer traders community" if ultimately ended up being the case.

 

I could have sworn I saw somewhere in the initial welcome post that the Bros. said they are still working on getting a new homepage up and running. Don't have time to dig for it now, but I'm pretty sure it's coming.

 

If you use the "What's New" Tab at the top, it will show you a listing of the most recent replies from all the forums combined. I don't think there is anyway to pick which forums appear like the old homepage though.

 

It may be something that can be accomplished via RSS or some other vehicle in the future, just not at this time.

 

Good point. I think the RSS feeds are feeds of new threads, so you could watch for new threads in selected forums that way and then "watch" the thread on the site if it interests you.

 

I think that will be fixed once the forum is integrated with the main website (I'm assuming).
