I had a really hard time finding this post again. It's not at all where I expected it would be.
Hon - Just open your page to Active Posts and you'll always be on current events. You won't have to search for things. You'll be able to scroll down the page and skip what you're not interested in (Daily Crap, or other drivel) and just read or respond to recent posts. You can also access it by clicking the arrow next to Active Topics and select the middle option of Active Posts. I just bookmarked the page on Active Posts and it opens there automatically. You won't miss a thing!
