Phil2360 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I admit I miss a lot of good content this way, but it's become a routine to check about 1/2 dozen forums this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jedgell Posted March 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2014 Set up my bookmark a couple years ago for the home page, been too lazy to change it. Plus I catch all the news/stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted March 6, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted March 6, 2014 It didn't used to be this way. When the site went down a few weeks back or however long ago it was, my Mac laptop (using Chrome) and iPhone will not work from the regular website address http://www.ballofspray.com. Both just sit and spin and then come up with an error. Started using http://ballofspray.vanillaforums.com/ for both. No tab exists to get to the home page. I know there r things I'm missing. Just not sure how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted March 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2014 Much of the front page content has its own thread in the forum. So you typically aren't so much missing the content if you are on the forum frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil2360 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 @Horton, Does your vote count? Don't you Build it? Anyway might of mentioned in before, having the headlines scrolling in the forum page. Think it would be cool & push us who are time poor there a bit more often, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 7, 2014 @Phil2360 scroll? No there is a home button. Sometimes I post stuff in both places but generally not.

Baller A_B Posted March 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 8, 2014 @Horton, can you have a home page icon on the Forum page that shows the number of new posts on it, sort of like an email folder on an iPhone?

Administrators Horton Posted March 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2014 @AB no and there is new stuff on the font page 3 to 6 times a week. This is frustrating because I spend a lot if time on the front page. How freak'n hard is it to go there first and then click the forum button....

Baller_ Wish Posted March 8, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted March 8, 2014 @MattP would love to but all I get is this message on my MacBook. Ever since the site went down weeks ago. Any ideas. And no, the "Try reloading" option does not work. I have to use http://ballofspray.vanillaforum.com where there is no option for getting to the front page. Same on my phone.

Baller SkiJay Posted March 8, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 8, 2014 I discovered the forum searching a topic, liked it, so bookmarked it. I didn't know there was a home page for about a year. I don't even know how to get to it from the mobile site. The home page is good though so I'll have to get around to changing my bookmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2014 @SkiJay There is not really a mobile site. If you sent your phone to Mobile it looks better @Wish that is just wacky. Can you clear your cache?

GroovyGrant Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 In response to some of the comments above I changed my bookmark to start at the home page. I guess I just didn't realize how often new content was being added there. Knowing that now, I'll check it out much more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller SkiJay Posted March 13, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 13, 2014 Good thing you started this thread @Horton.
