Just as a note it also doesn't work properly on the iPad with Safari, ( all latest updates on an iPad 4 10" ).
Its very messed up pics where boxes should be, boxes interfering with pictures etc..

It should be obvious by now that no one really cares about the home page. Just forget it and log in directly to another page. That's what I do now. :cheerful:

Your suggestion sir is why this forum has failings, how ridiculous to suggest oh it's broken so just leave it, I'm glad I don't have to ride in your car with 1 missing wheel, a flat, and half the brakes - their broke so I'll ignore them...:sorrow::sorrow::sorrow:

Well sir, then I assume you are volunteering to take over the maintenance of the home page! I seriously don't think that the issues on the home page are in the same ballpark as a missing wheel, a flat and half the brakes! :ambivalence:

Well delete the homepage then and make the forum list the homepage and save someone the effort of Maintaining it, as for me if I knew how to I'd willingly do so because I don't have a negative approach to things.

That's not the point though really is it, a photographic website that can't manage to put photos on its homepage properly or update them even infrequently is a poor show.

In what way do you think that this forum has failings, sir?
Are you not getting enough help when asked?
Are you not able to upload your pictures any time without limit?

Is this forum not friendly enough for you?
Is your uploads constantly being criticized without asking for it?

If this is your problem with this forum, then I can suggest other photography forums that might meet your needs as described above.:indecisiveness: They even have pretty and regularly updated home pages.

I think that the problem is just that we are not publishing the winners of the monthly assignments anymore. We post the winners, but do not publish. Maybe we should start to do this again.

Maybe I'm missing the mark, but I think what thequeenscheese is trying to express is passion for the site, and not nit pick all the small defects. The subforum is Feedback and Suggestions, after all, and he's making a suggestion that would better the site experience for him as well as potentially others who stumble across the site. The comments I've seen have been centered around how this site could be made to be his one stop photography site, without needing the Flickrs and WordPress and other sites that some of us split our time over.

It's all a volunteer effort here, done because different people have the skill background or the time. Ultimately, because everyone shares the same passion and sense of respect, we get this sense of family that differentiates this site from the other photography sites that we've been on. Not everyone has the background or insight into what goes on behind the scenes to appreciate the amount of work that goes into keeping the forum where it's at. I guess that's why I'm hopeful that it's from that perspective that these suggestions are coming from.

From a purely personal perspective i have no interest in the home page to me it was the forum that counted,i say was because ime a part time member now due to not shooting Nikon.

Losing full participation in the forum was the most difficult part of changing from Nikon for me,i dont see the forum going backwards or standing still,it is possibly going through one of its regular slower times which i have seen happen a few times since i joined.

The homepage maybe could do with reviving but i have a feeling that @jdeg will move the forum to a new platform soon so any major work may not be worth it.
