What happened to the Portal link next to the about us? That's my quick and easy way to check what topics have been replied in/ posted.

BA removed the link yesterday because it was buggy, basically didn't do its job, and doesn't get used much. I'm sure if people aren't ok with it, it'll come back, but I would like to point out that if you just want to see which topics are active, there is a link at the bottom of the forum that says today's active topics, that shows all the topics that have been posted in the last 24 hours.

Here is the link for that.

What Arc said. I still need to find a way to fix the resolution problem. For example, the boxes are way too wide on 1080p monitors and too tight on 720p monitors.

I found it way easier and never had problems (though I don't use a monitor with that res.)

It was removed because it's an underused feature that needs consistent maintenance and doesn't work properly for everyone. Weighing the opportunity cost with its overall usage, I believed it needed to be removed.

In spite of the merits between the portal page and the active topics search function, I dislike the fact that I am robbing you of a convenient feature. The portal still exists, yet it is not available as a link on the forum and will no longer be an integral part of the forum experience. Would you have us re-enable the portal link? Or is there an alternative that you would be willing to pursue?

I dunno right now I just type po into my search bar because it's the first result and I still find that easier than the recent topics link do what you think is best for the forum (and easiest on you, I know how much you do behind the scenes to keep the forum running smoothly)

Considering that the last three posts in this topic have been unfavorable towards the removal of the portal. Should we go ahead and bring back the portal?

The new user bar makes up for it I suppose, since it has the view new posts link

The portal was very slow and looked strange. Glad it's gone, but where's the chat! :V

Any thoughts on making a couple skins people could chose from for the forums? It'd be kinda nice to be able to change the appearance a little (at least the color scheme) for a change of pace now and then.

Sure, look forward to it.

In the meantime, if there is a particular color (One color, I'll work with the shading) someone wanted to see so much that it was one of the main reasons they joined RM in the first place in order to see it in action, as long as it doesn't make people's eyes 'hnnnnnnng', then send me a PM.
