Steven P. Administrators Posted May 1, 2010 Administrators Share Posted May 1, 2010 You may have noticed a new forum called Front Page News. This forum posts submitted news from the front page, and acts like "moved topics" so clicking on a link there redirects to the article. The news stories also now appear in the mini spy. All stories submitted to Neowin are included (not just the main feed). Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayla Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 It's okay.I alway check Neowin front-page before i go to forums anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have to ask, is there any particular reason for this? N0MAK 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomKid Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have to ask, is there any particular reason for this? Its for people that are lazy to read the front page and it benefits Neowin. It helps their PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted May 1, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have to ask, is there any particular reason for this? People were requesting a "headline view" so this addresses that, also all news is shown, not just what is on the main feed, so it's a good reference for all news stories and not just the selective ones that are shown on https://www.neowin.net/index.php :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudo Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice! (Y) I have the forum bookmarked and I always miss what is on the main page. I also think it will help member to know what is already on the main page before creating a thread about it. I like it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amon91 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice move, noticed it last night. Now what I'd like to see is the ability to reply to those "threads" and have those replies show up as comments on the front page. Not a big deal at all, but it would help streamline things a little bit. Chasethebase 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasethebase Reporter Posted May 1, 2010 Reporter Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice move, noticed it last night.

Not a big deal at all, but it would help streamline things a little bit. This would be awesome if it was possible. If not have it so the Forum threads are replyable so then a proper discussion can happen on the forums without the sort of people you get in the comment threads.

Growled Member Posted May 1, 2010 Member Share Posted May 1, 2010 I like this as well. It's nice to be able to view news articles from days ago that have moved off the front page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Does this mean we can now discuss news that have been on the frontpage there as well instead of having to discuss them in the annoying article comments sections ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amon91 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Does this mean we can now discuss news that have been on the frontpage there as well instead of having to discuss them in the annoying article comments sections ? No, right now it's just linking to them as far as I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
