I posted this on the new site in a comments thread, but it probably bears repeating here:
The feature box will rotate various interesting bits through. It's not written yet, but we'll apply some logic to show you the oldest thing you haven't yet seen in the rotation first, which will generally be our last big review. Then you'll get newer news stories of note after that. One way we'll keep the site fresh is working this box like mad.
This feature is working on a simple rotation basis now. Reload the front page a few times by clicking the TR logo and you'll see it in action.

Happens very slightly in IE as well, but its very pronounced in Opera.

I see that too.

Perhaps we could have a separate forum for discussing front page news? Like Bit tech does..

Dposcorp wrote:Two things:
1) Is the top left corner of the page, where the big picture is, supposed to change every time I refresh the page?
It goes from being a link to a article, to randomly choosing one of the top few news items. I am not liking that. The first time I played with the page a few days ago, I thought the top left corner would always be the most current article, with the other "featured articles" below it, on the left third of the page.
I then thought that the middle third would be Top news stories, TR's system guide, Top discussion topics, Shacknews, etc...
Lastly, I thought the right third would be various adds and the price guide.
I just don't want to load the page, and see a news items in the top left corner, and miss that a new review was put up because I hit the wrong spot in the rotation. Do I make any sense?
This may have been discussed already, and that leads me to my second point.
2) Can we maybe have you edit the first post, and indicate what topics and questions have already been asked and addressed? If the above is already be addressed, then I am don't want to waste anyones time with my post.
Also, others will know it has been addressed as well. Probably just a lot of copy and paste work from the other parts of the thread.
Just a thought.

Yeah, it was fixed like 2 minutes after I posted.

Not in Opera 9.22. I checked, and it is, however, working properly in IE7.
