    Default Isn't it about time...

    ...that we changed the "Weekly Poll" on the Front Page of TWC? Seriously, it's been there for about a year, and the results are horribly skewed. I think I voted about 15 times.

    Let's change it, guys.

    Yeah, it seems people haven't voted there for a long time, since the percentages are the same.

    Haha yes I agree with you! It is rather crazy having that same poll up for a year or so, changing it once in a while wont do any harm.

    the poll system is broken (if i remember correctly) so its impossible to change it, for now.

    And the top portion with the "recent posts" looks ugly with 2/3rds empty all the time.

    If you have suggestions for the Front Page, send a PM to gigagaia and it will be handled, he's currently the acting supervisor of that area.

    It is the anual poll not the weekly poll. Remember how long the one to rename the forum areas lasted?

    Agreed. Suggestions for these places:
    - latest mod developments (f.e. preview thread link of x faction of x mod)
    - latest ES and Helios issues - thread links
    - links of featured threads (the latest very interesting or vital threads of TWC).

    We change the poll so infrequently that by the time someone suggests changing it, everyone's forgot how to do it. Anyway, there's supposed to be a new front page sometime in the hopefully not-too-distant future, so with any luck we'll be rid of silly things like this.

    So you can say it but I can't!(giga told me it was a "best kept secret") The new page looks much better than the old one at any rate, it just needs some touching up around links and possibly a couple Java functions, but otherwise last time I looked at it with giga it seemed rather finished.

    A new front page?

    That's great news.
